re: #550 Obdicut

OT: There are people brave and stupid enough to downding Charles’ comments. That’s something.

I disagree with Charles in many cases as I’m sure do others. It’s one thing not to downding out of fear, quite another to not do so as a courtesy to the host of the blog. Either way, I don’t think smart or dumb has anything to do with it.

I’m sure Charles appreciates seeing a downding here and there instead of a bunch of people afraid to engage and disagree. If I’m wrong, he can downding me and/or exile me right now. And how am I supposed to read your comments from now on (provided I’m still here in a few minutes that is) given that you might be inclined to post what may not be your true take on an issue? This is a moderated forum to be sure, but everything goes for the most part as long as it’s kept respectful.
