Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room censorship and political thread

Steve,
I obviously missed my mark with my post. I was addressing the idea that the view on who is averse to change is largely based on perspective.

To say that the reason that someone doesn't accept another viewpoint is due to a hardwired resistance to change is dismissive, regardless of what those views are.

And I agree, extreme statements, exaggerations, ad hominem attacks and appeals to authority are really not very effective persuasive techniques. They certainly didn't work on me.

If you read my post, you will find that there was no value placed on conservative or liberal views, they were just presented as examples of perspective.
