I'm a very longtime Kossack, but I'm often out-of-step with some opinions on this site. Those who know me know how; the point of this diary is not to argue for my point of view.
The point is to help me think about how I can have disagreements with those who disagree with me in a less insult-spewing, pie-fighting manner.
Earlier today, I expressed a point of view in a recommended diary that, apparently, very few other people agreed with. That's fine. I don't expect people to agree with me. And I don't mind them arguing with me.
