| Quote | It is a double-edged sword. Jam is accusing TT of being intolerant without backing up his accusation. You are DEMANDING an explanation.
Which side is arrogant? |
I don't care if I get an explanation or not, so I am pretty sure that my DEMAND is something that exists only in your mind.
In my world discussions are enhanced, and thoughts are even provoked, by providing evidence. This happens faster if evidence is provided without DEMANDS, but it can still happen if someone (like me, or k.e, or a number of others on this board) asks for it (politely, at first). If it is available, then it is helpful for the rest of us to see it, and then make whatever conclusions that seem to be warranted by the evidence.
So let's go back to my previous message, with the hypothetical scenario played out as you want it to be.
1) JAM provides a link to a post which looks reasonable.
2) The TT admins, if they want the evidence to speak for itself, would then provide a link to the post(s) which they found so offensive.
3) Evidence in hand, the jaded and biased and horribly arrogant crowd at AtBC can conclude whatever they can conclude from the evidence.
As I said before, why not skip the first step, since it is obvious to all (except perhaps you) that we must proceed to step 2 regardless of what happens in step one? But if the TT admins deem this to be arrogance, or an unjustified waste of their time, we are reduced to making a conclusion without all the evidence. I don't like to do that.
Do you?
