Agreeing to disagree we ain't!

joreth has just written a passionate essay about why everything I said here was bullshit.

Dear me. I think I'm about to cry!

Or, you know, not.

Actually, I'm really surprised by my feelings on this -- usually, I would really want to argue, I'd spend hours writing wordy replies and exchanging ideas, involving other people into the discussion, trying to learn

Actually, I am going to see it. LJ tells me when someone references my posts.

*facepalm*

Shit. Sorry!

I wrote a long comment but, given that you aren't really inviting discussion on the topic, I think I will go make a post of my own. :)

Yes, that was another thing I didn't consider (joreth might not read my journal, but some people who know her do). *facepalm* I just keep forgetting that anyone besides my IRL friends reads it...

Making a post of your own is a better option for unrelated reasons. You have much more readers, and this topics deserves attention. You're right, I wasn't inviting a discussion -- at that time, with that person. But at another time, or with other people, things might be different! (In particular, with my boyfriend I always discuss the important things that joreth writes). So I'm looking forward to reading what you and your commenters had to say (when my oncall ends... :-( )

In any case, I hope there were no hurt feelings as a result of my post -- knowing what I know now, I'm sorry I posted it.

The pingback bot informs her regardless, I think, if you link to her post. I don't think there was anything wrong with you posting it, unless you specifically *didn't* want her to read it, in which case filtering it might have been wise. :)

If you want to discuss at my post, feel free to jump in!

Well, I can actually kind of understand her point on that. Sometimes disagreement is not just a disagreement -- if ethical issues are involved, disagreeing with someone can indeed mean that you apriori don't respect that person. For example, some people believe that homosexuals should not be allowed to marry or adopt. I don't just disagree with that belief, I also think it's shitty, and a person who believes that would not be my friend. So that's where she's coming from.

You're right! I take that back.

But that reminds me of this video. You probably could say that the pastor in this story honestly believed that this child's fantasies were actually causing bad things to happen to his family, as punishment from God for him thinking about boys. So the pastor wasn't bad -- just very, very misinformed... Right?
