Above, you wrote: I have better things to do with my time than to give everyone the same amount of time and respect. I understand that feeling. Life is short. But why take the time to respond at all, then, dismissively or otherwise? "A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer." [1] For me, sometimes a charitable interpretation of a "foolish" question or comment provides a framework to think about, or write about, what I see as the more salient point. Responding is optional, after all, so why not respond from the perspective of charitable discourse? [1] Bruce Lee (!)
