I belive we should criticise ideas, not people. It's one thing to have an idiotic idea. Having an idiotic idea is OK. Saying that someone's idea is idiotic is OK.
It's quite another thing to be an idiot. Calling someone an idiot is not OK.
- primatology 14y agoI absolutely agree in theory. But I've found certain individuals tend to have a disproportionately high number of idiotic ideas. My frustration builds quickly with said individuals, and I'm only human. I insist, however, upon giving everyone the benefit of the doubt for the first few idiotic ideas, because I expect the same in return. I'm not immune to bouts of idiocy myself.
