I apologize for being unclear if you perceived me as tearing down a fellow human being.
I absolutely share your conviction about free speech and a more civilized society. When I say I'm disappointed by this turn of events, I don't mean to say that this person should be shunned and punished for their beliefs at every opportunity, I am merely expressing the opinion that they're not a good choice for the job at hand. It must be possible to express this without descending into pitchforks mode - I'm sorry if I didn't manage to convey that. In any case, you can take comfort in the fact that I got nothing but flak for expressing this opinion :)
- pdeuchler 13y agoHey Udo, I think the simple fact that you even thought of apologizing in a public forum shows you are not one of those of whom I was talking about. I can't say I saw your comments in the other thread, but your opinions below at the very least have some reasoning and basis to them, and don't seem to attack BE the person, as much as you disagree with his appointment, which to me is fair game. Thanks for being cool about this :)
- Udo 13y ago> I can't say I saw your comments in the other thread That's because I didn't see the other thread at all. I just found out about his new role in this one. > I think the simple fact that you even thought of apologizing in a public forum shows you are not one of those who I was talking about. Ah, okay. I kind of jumped to conclusions there, mostly based on the content of the replies I've been getting and the fact that my post was at the top of the thread there for a while. Also, I'm aware that due to the language/culture barrier my comments are sometimes perceived to be more abrasive than intended... > Thanks for being cool about this :) Likewise :)
