[LJ Idol] Brouhaha

I have been, in my day, in the middle of a brouhaha. You can find about it if you click the 'inadvertant shitstorm' link in my tags

Very thought-provoking entry.

I was, and remain, worried about it, because there's things I could have framed better, but I'm glad that my main worry - people starting by screaming - didn't happen.

People definitely need to be more reasonable when they debate with others. It gets entirely too ridiculous. Yet I was smiling at this entry because ours reflect different points of view (although I agree with yours!)...you see a lot of brouhaha...I'm not seeing enough of it. Although I think we're talking about different aspects of political discourse.

Anyway, well done. Thanks for discussing this.

I almost took it into the Republican vs. Democrat debate, but I would have gone into utter flaming mode, and that would just be causing the sort of (dare I say) brouhaha I was trying to suggest we needed less of.

I understand...I struggled with the same thing. I think you did the right thing. :)

I thought this was a great entry, discussing a topic that many wouldn't want to approach. Well done.

Thank you.

I keep thinking I didn't quite get my point entirely across the way I wanted to, but I may not have the language points I need to get it all the way there.

Acting with respect is always a good idea - or as my mom used to say, "More flies with honey." :)

I do agree that we should all try to take a moment and think before we react. Interesting take on the topic, and thought provoking.
