No it's not a problem. I didn't have a negative opinion of it because of the content (which contained no new or interesting ideas by the way). I had a negative opinion of it because someone out there believed that you could just shout out your controversial beliefs in a group email and expect something positive to come from it.

- friedman23 9y agoWell I just scanned it and can again confirm that there are no new ideas in that document.

I'm honestly struggling to understand your perspective. Would you prefer a world where nobody says anything "controversial", everyone just rolls with the status quo, and nothing ever changes? Why is espousing "controversial ideals" offensive to you? I treat ideas that clash with my own internal logical understanding of the world as challenges that can only improve my understanding of the world. If I run these "controversial ideas" through my logic and reasoning faculties, there's really only two possible outcomes: - I reject the idea and now have arguments against them that I can share with others - I end up embracing the idea because I realize that my implicit rejection of it lacked a sturdy logical foundation Either way, I win—I get a better understanding of the world I live in. Why would you choose to shield yourself from improving yourself mentally?
