Another well thought out and well written thread. K and R panader0 Dec 2013 #2
I fear this will not go well stevenleser Dec 2013 #3
are you kidding? arely staircase Dec 2013 #4
Exactly! stevenleser Dec 2013 #5

Sorry, but the entire OP is nonsense. Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #15
Totally agree. There are no existing matriarchies. Pre-historic matriarchies are spoken of as myth. ancianita Dec 2013 #32
Oh I disagree with somewhere between 80%-95% of the ideas as well. The thing is the OP had no stevenleser Dec 2013 #34
Except the way to foster healthy dialogue isn't to totally misrepresent one side of an argument Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #53
Yeah, but that wasn't his intent. People could have explained that without stevenleser Dec 2013 #54
Whether there's malice or not is neither here nor there. Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #56
I disagree 100%. The tone and intent should change the way people respond. stevenleser Dec 2013 #57
I invite you to point out anything I said that constitutes an attack, please. Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #58
I didn't say it was you doing so. nt stevenleser Dec 2013 #59
Which side of the argument is misrepresented? And what are the 'sides'? sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #173
I already answered that in my other posts in this thread Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #175
I see an opinion, politely and intelligently presented by the OP. Then I see what amount to attacks sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #190
Disagreement isn't an attack. Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #192
Here's one example of what you call 'disagreement': sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #206
Except I'm talking specifically about myself and my responses on this thread. Spider Jerusalem Dec 2013 #210
disagreement. not attack. and more than a few. lol. words matter. nt seabeyond Dec 2013 #194
One example of 'disagreeent': sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #207

All you've done so far is to express your own opinion. If those who sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #176

excellent point. and, point on. nt seabeyond Dec 2013 #183
No, a majority doesn't think that, they think that those who tend to dominate these discussions sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #186

Wow, dismiss much? Waiting For Everyman Dec 2013 #127

So you didn't read the post referred to either? Waiting For Everyman Dec 2013 #165
of course i agree with that, why wouldnt I? boston bean Dec 2013 #167
Why wouldn't you (agree with that) is what I wondered too. Waiting For Everyman Dec 2013 #168
I am not surprised at all about the reaction of some in this thread. They believe only they are sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #179
or maybe we simply have a differing opinion than you, saw a problem with the OP and discussed it. seabeyond Dec 2013 #181
The insults began before I got here. I merely commented on them. sabrina 1 Dec 2013 #184
no. we had differing views. we expressed. re read. seabeyond Dec 2013 #185
