You assume that I'm acting in bad faith. I'm not. I'm one of those people who believes that for the overwhelming majority of humans, communication and compromise can address most disagreements.

You assume that I'm trolling. I'm not. The video is irrelevant to my point. I was objecting to the characterization that those who express differing views are somehow your enemy. Which makes no sense to me. I respect that others think and believe differently from me. And the best way I know to work through such differences is to communicate, understand and either compromise or agree to disagree. How is that trolling?

A few questions:
Have any of the folks that exaeta referred to as "enemies" done or threatened violence to him or anyone else, as far as you know?

Have any of these folks done anything to harm anyone?

Is anyone *forcing* you or exaeta to do, say or think anything?

The answers to those questions is "no." Please explain to me how that makes it appropriate to consider those responsible as "enemies."

You see what I'm doing here? I'm explaining my position, addressing your concerns and seeking to understand your position so that we can come to an understanding and, if not agreement, at least the ability to communicate without rancor.

If that's trolling and bad faith, then I must have been transported to bizzaro world [wikipedia.org] overnight while I slept.
