@hbdchick @derekmhopper thats a fair point. you need to find a new expression to reflect that

@Outsideness you keep telling people there's something wrong, even sick, with their behavior...which they *feel* is so right... -
@Outsideness ...and you're not going to get a positive response, i don't think. it's like pro-choice vs. anti-abortion, etc.

@hbdchick@Outsideness How about "extraordinary altruism"? -
@LexCorvus i like that! (^_^)@Outsideness -
@hbdchick@LexCorvus Oh sure, a critique of "extraordinary altruism" sounds as fangy as hell. Does it come with some kind of medallion? -
@Outsideness but it's not *meant* to be a critique, that's the whole point! my goal is get people to *understand* problem.@LexCorvus -
@hbdchick@LexCorvus There's a lunatic with a knife at your throat, and while I accept that understanding the situation is interesting ... -
@Outsideness well, screaming at the lunatic "you're sick!" isn't going to help, either. (~_^)@LexCorvus -
@hbdchick@LexCorvus Oh, it helps plenty in encouraging their enemies (our friends) to give up on them and cut loose. -
@Outsideness no, no. let's use your analogy. there's a lunatic with a knife at your throat right now! do you...@LexCorvus - 2 more replies

@hbdchick That's exactly what we want our people to think. Polarization, aversion, and schism to follow. -
@Outsideness ↑ ...how to tell when you're not talking to a universalist. (~_^) (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
