No, it isn't. Because my main point, which you missed, was "don't take these arguments too seriously, because they are not". They are basically child's play. You don't think children fighting each other are going to grow up criminals, do you? This is the same thing.
But everything I wrote was honest. I, being a leftist anarchist, am probably more for equal and harmonic society than the author is. For instance, I wish there was no authority from power, and the companies were run democratically.
- grandalf 12y ago> I wish there was no authority from power, and the companies were run democratically. This makes sense b/c you seem to find the demagoguery in the video you linked appealing. While it is important to advocate for a position in a technical discussion, the ideal outcome is not emotional persuasion (as in politics) but a wider rational understanding among members of the group. > don't take these arguments too seriously, because they are not I think it depends. Usually the people whose tactics cause intimidation are not all that aware of it. Yes in an ideal world we could all undertake vociferous argument and have all participants contribute to their full potential -- but unfortunately an open forum argument culture will easily defer to the loudest or most intimidating voice even if the words coming out are not the smartest or most rational.
