Particularly if you're a mathemetician. Not interesting for everyone but it's so easy to go & have a convo you're interested in.

Rather than tell other people to stop having the ones that interest them & look at it your way instead.

I think if people are determined to look at something unscientifically it is worth pointing it out. I'm not banning their opinions though.

That's not what happened. Ppl were trying to look at logical structure & you kept telling them only functionality matters.

That's akin to my looking at the form of a poem & someone insisting I should only look at the themes. That form is the wrong question.
-
Much better to accept that people are interested in different aspects of a thing at different times & its OK if its not 1 that interests you

I think punishment should be more tailored. Helen would have to study religion full time. You'd have to be lectured by Tories. Me - RadFems

You realise that studying religion is what I do?

Hmm ... Helen would have to be taught by extremely orthodox religious people. You're in their terms. Not yours. No room for arguing.
