> Yes. I don't think we were really talked to...
Rather we were talked at in the interests of making a point. We were platforms which were used so that someone else could springboard their ideas off of us. I do think... That one of the charges that was made... About how we ignored Deneb's humanity... I do think that that is what this poster did to us. He / She wasn't so interested in what we had to say... As in making their points.

though i should also add that in some instances civil disobedience may well be justified and that given the serious nature of the topic (the initial reason for the posts - involountary hospitalisation)... this may well be one of those cases...

and in such circumstances... how people feel about what is said is... something of a side issue.

but with respect to maintaining order and a supportive atmosphere...

well. that is something of a side issue too.

i have heard some discussion around socrates... whether it would have been possible for him to have made his points and shown people that they didn't know as much as they think they did WITHOUT enraging / frustrating them so...
or whether he needed to to what he did in order to be heard.

i'm not sure...
maybe... he did need to matyr himself.

still thinking...
