Bittertruth ji,

You are obviously a very learned person with a lot of great points of view. I have really appreciated your contribution and your attempt at neutrallity in this thread, despite your own limitations.

But I do differ from you in many perspectives. In the exchange of ideas, with people whom I feel close to, I like to set politeness and such aside. I feel that this kind of formallity is unnecessary. It prevents ideas from being exchanged in a speedy fashion. It is an unnecessary bureacracy in the exchange of ideas.

Needing to be constantly polite in the exchange of ideas, out of fear that the person receiving the communication will get offended, is very unfortunate and sad. In the realm of mature, confidenent people who trust each other and feel that their goal is good and beautiful and who live secure and healthy lives, this degree of caution is unnecessary.

I know that in sajha, this degree of caution and apology is VERY VERY necessary. You understand what I'm saying, yeah?

What I am trying to say is, in my exchange and communication with others, I will be very careful in how I word things. But in my posts addressing you, I want to be free enough to be irreverant so that the ideas are expressed directly.

I just want to ask your permission to do so. I feel you have the maturity and intellectual confidence and you're secure enough with yourself to handle that.

Am I correct? Let me know if I"m wrong.
