Well, no, I didn't say that.
- pdonis 13y agoNot explicitly, no, but it certainly seemed to me to be strongly implied. You didn't say "If you have tried an idea and found it to work well, I think you have an obligation to get others to try it too." You just said "If you think something is a good idea". My point is that, to put it bluntly, just "thinking" it's a good idea is worth very little by itself; it certainly isn't enough to obligate you to try to get others to adopt it. You need a lot more than that.
