Now that I have so successfully ruffled the feathers of those so willing to attack the ideas of another, it allows me the opportunity to teach. And I say this, not to appear as though I know it all, and with no ulterior motive other than my humble desire to help mankind where I can:

It is better to be kind rather than right.

That little bit of wisdom will serve you so much better than any attack you can formulate to defend your current beliefs. It was not my wish to be “right” in this dialog, but rather to demonstrate that those so quick to condemn another’s thoughts may themselves not be great warriors of tolerance.

I am not naïve enough to believe that I have really taught anything here; knowing the human psyche, I know that these words may inflame more. “What arrogance to think he can teach”. Anyone can teach.

What does this have to do with a crushed VX with a rainbow sticker? My aim was to inspire consolidarity where I saw an attack on a fellow VXer, but that may not be possible given the nature of the subject at hand. I vote for closing the topic.
