You're going to get rebuttals whether you like them or not. That's how rational discussion works. Refusing to listen to rebuttals is a symptom of religion, not rationality.
To clarify; I know the rebuttals would come. Without meaning to be harsh, I do not care. I'm not interested in debate on these points. I'm interested in planting seeds of thought; others can run with it and do their own investigation. The ad nauseum arguments we see on this list and on Wikipedia lead to nothing. Either my points are valid, or they are not. Remember, I'm just the quack with the sandwich board. Investigate for yourself. Draw your own conclusions. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
Forgive me, but isn't that a huge part of the problem? We have so many willing to point out what's wrong, often in minute detail and colourful language, but we have a very small number of people who say "I have identified the problem. Now, what can we do to fix it? What can I do to fix it?"
