I really do not take anything anyone has to say about my writing as a personal thing. My belief is that understanding truth and getting things right is more important that how we feel about truth and getting things right. So even if I sound polemical, that's really never my intent. My position is always, what is the issue, and how can we come to a more accurate and 'real' understanding of it - which is to say, a more pragmatic understanding of it. But I think that some folks are out for feeling better about their position in the world, including blogland, and when what they feel is a good idea is criticized, they associate the idea with the person and take it as self-criticism. I would like to move beyond that to focus on more important stuff.<br><br>I agree with the theological leanings bit as well. I would never want to pidgeon hole anyone on purpose unless I was indeed trying to pick a fight ;-) I think that many people take things too personally and think that others will do the same.
