Criticism...

The man who cannot listen to an argument which opposes his views either has a weak position or is a weak defender of it. No opinion that cannot stand discussion or criticism is worth holding. And it has been wisely said that the man who knows only half of any question is worse off than the man who knows nothing of it. He is not only one sided, but his partisanship soon turns him into an intolerant and a fanatic. In general it is true that nothing which cannot stand up under discussion and criticism is worth defending.  (James E. Talmage)

Dallin Oaks "Criticism".  I posted a link to this on the Bloggernacle.  Everyone criticized it.

Defense Rests

No more discussion of this subject is allowed from this point on within this blog, and I recommend that the subject be dropped from every agenda for obvious reason.

If the reason escapes you, do a little research.

On-topic discussion is still the usual -- I even offer more encouragement than usual. Please raise your favorite topic for discussion. Guest bloggers, do your stuff. Business as usual, anything goes, except the off-topic subject.

Doing it Wrong

I've heard the little voices before, telling me.



Who knows what is right or wrong?

All it would take is a word to begin negotiations on this matter. As is, I have to depend on the results of the discussion.

Apparently, those who cared enough to express an opinion thought our past was private business and should remain so. I've always agreed with that sentiment. We'll see how the next discussion fares. I guess I will continue until I get my request.

Thank you for your kind participation.
