Re: What kind of Movement is this? Reply to Lou.

Lou and others:

I really don't think condescension is really the best
way to make your political point, even if you happen
to be correct. (I'm not getting involved in this
discussion, so I'm making no such judgement one way or
the other.)

It seems to me that talking down to people only serves
to antagonize them and make the "condescender" look
like an arrogant curmudgeon.

I respectfully suggest that we keep the discussion
comradely. If we wanted a shouting match, we'd've kept
Javad around.
