In reply to Alec Kinnear.

Agree to disagree?

Agreeing to disagree with you is a one-sided agreement. Whereas I have stated I have no intention of censoring your views, you still maintain your right to censor mine.

Which is the crux of what I am getting at here.

Unless someone is obviously up to no good, being a total a-hole, or is an unintelligible shit-for-brains, his or her contribution has every much right to be heard as yours. And, I would argue, should be encouraged.

So telling me in advance, if you don't like what I write about, or the way I write about it, you will get out your little blue pen, just means I am not going to waste my time contributing to your blog.

Although I might totally disagree, I would prefer to hear what you have to say, even if you don't extend me the same courtesy.
