RE: Fear-Mongering NRA says: Make a Civil War in the US again!
Hey @lennstar, I am a follower of yours, for reasons. I think you're intelligent, and have some fresh views I find thoughtful. That is why I made the effort to respond to your post a few days ago, and why I took some time to do it. I had hoped that your reply might have enabled us to agree on some points, and might clarify any where I had it wrong.
I depend on criticism. Without it I am left to my own musings, which often end up circular, or otherwise pointless. Criticism is the most important response to anything I think, say, or write, because it lets me know how I was understood, points out things I haven't thought of, or where I'm just plain wrong.
I was hoping to get some response from you regarding the points I made. I still am. Even if you only tell me that your mind is closed on the matter, at least I will gain understanding from that.
Please do me the courtesy of some reply, that you mean, to my earlier response to your comments on this video.
Thanks!
Frankly it was just too long to read full. And answering would have taken even more time, right?
Sorry for that.
Well, I suppose you will base your opinions on what you want. However, I don't think taking a couple minutes to read what took me far longer to write would cause you to have less understanding of issues which are dividing our country, and which you feel are approaching murder in the streets.
I'll consider your thoughts on the matter accordingly.
Reading is not the problem. I can read a lot in short time, even in english. But thinking about it, or even writing an answer, takes time.
And I certainly have no time to write or even read everything that is maybe interesting.
And however long it took you to write, there is no obligation for me or any other person that we read it. That is true for all here, writing on steemit.
You write and either people read it or not, on their own terms. There is no right to get read or getting a vote.
That said I am going to write an answer since you insisted ;) and I have more time today.
I'll look forward to such reply as you choose to make. While neither of us have any obligation to dialogue, that dialogue is a major purpose of Steemit, and I have undertaken the invitation to dialogue implicit in your post.
Any continuation of our dialogue may enable us to dissolve our points of disagreement, and I hope that we can achieve that purpose.
It seems you have not seen it, I made it under the long post of yours.
I found it, I think. Thanks for pointing me to it.
