With all due respect to Mr. Desper, I can't say I agree with this. If I were a historian interviewing a subject, yes, I would do my best to do whatever possible to get the information I wanted to get. But this is not an interview setting, it's a community and when we post something, it is generally to start a conversation and in a conversation people might disagree with what you are saying. Short of what Brian did here, which was to have people ask questions in advance, then leave a response, then leave completely, I'm not sure if there is really any way around it. People shouldn't be treated badly but I think disagreeing with a point, or even the phrasing of a point, is not something we need to accept as an instance of wrong-doing.![]()
