Quite to the contrary, it absolutely is. What makes you think
otherwise?
Maybe the constant lecturing and rather hostile attitudes proceeding
forth from both sides of this debate?
Admittedly I'm not perfect and whether someone feels attacked or
lectured to depends on a message's recipient as well.
However, I do feel that I did not lecture but plead and also feel that
I did not engage in hostile behaviour.
Fortunately, although these flare-ups are regrettably
common, they also
gradually fade away. Hopefully with a little time for reflection, and
after we all resume a calmer mode of discussion, Geoff will find that
the ideals he cherishes are still alive and well.
