@mollydot You didn't really write that with a principle of charity operating at the forefront of your mind, did you!? :)

@PhilosophyExp I did try to take it as it was, not judging it by the bits I'd read previously. And pointing out where I couldn't help it.

@mollydot But a principle of charity requires you criticize the strongest version of what you take to be your opponent's argument, not...

@PhilosophyExp 2) I wanted to see for myself why people were angry. Too many times I nod along & only see what's wrong when it's pointed out

@mollydot Right, so maybe 2) explains why it reads - to me - as if you were looking for stuff that was wrong (rather than stuff right).

@PhilosophyExp Yep. I was. If you've read that far, is my "fuck you" reaction any more comprehensible now?

@mollydot ended up there, then sure... :)

@PhilosophyExp I suppose that counts as not incomprehensible :-) And "fuck you" tends to be an emotional response :-)
