Beyond my level of comprehension.... etc. I mean, for me, I find I would personally find it more stimulating if the person stated that this concept or this sentence... was beyond my comprehension. Did you mean this? Or did you mean this? Or, I disagree.... because of this. But, I do also realize not everyone is capable or desirous of such introspection and reflection. This is a large group and it takes all kinds of diversity. This group is very much like a hybrid group with varying opinions and yes... even threads that are like hybrids themselves so I guess that appeals to me in some way even when it is also sometimes grating on my nerves at others when it seems like no real contribution to a thread is being made. I'm sure the feeling is sometimes mutual.

In the end, for me it is about respect. I try to respect others. If they write something I don't understand or don't agree with I respect them enough to tell them why or to read the entire post regardless of how I feel about their personal opinion. But then that is me. I think we all do appreciate common courtesy. One good rule of thumb I try to live by is simply this. "Try not to be a jerk." My second rule of thumb... "Try not to hurt others". I think they are both the same rule really, but thats how I think of them and thats how I try to guide my actions, dialogue, etc. I'm not always successful as like anyone else... I do let my emotions get the best of me from time to time.

So, are you saying I am too stupid to understand what you are talking about? or do you mean I am too ignorant to have an open mind to your ramblings? Talk about personal attack.

I was not directing anything towards you. Nowhere did I say, Beautifullywild77, this is how I feel about you personally.

Ok, I was just doing what you had suggested and asked you to clarify what you meant. I also apologize for hurting your feelings with the "too long, didn't read" meme! Again, I was just being honest!

That might be what he is saying, but sweetie, why in the world are you wasting your time reading this spittle? Life is to be lived, and is wayyy to short for this nasty old roundabout!

It is very true though for myself as I don't always desire to talk about the same thing as another. I don't always desire to reflect on why I think the way I do about a given topic. I'm simply not always in the mood. Sometimes, I just want to think a certain way and not look into why. Sometimes it feels good to simply let ones emotions be expressed and not examine them. At least that is true for me personally. I did not mean to upset you Beautifullywild77.

I appreciate your honesty. I don't like reading things I deem as long... especially so when the topic does not interest me. This topic does however interest me. I am interested in why and how different people perceive things as pure, impure, hybrid, nonhybrid... and the whole justification of being pro or anti-hybrid interests me personally so I can more easily read those things that are long or take a considerable amount of time to read as I am interested in knowing why people feel the way they do about this topic as it does seem to garner a lot of emotional responses. I have read much on the subject and much I don't personally agree with. This is why I am thinking there is something deeper at the core of this issue. Something I am missing or perhaps something that is not simply being expressed in a way that I can grasp it. That doesn't keep me from trying to see all the angles though and it doesn't keep me from wondering as this is an issue I am deeply curious about.
