(General note: I did see and appreciate the humor in Andrew Plato's
original post.)
Per Eric L. Dunn: "How does ridiculing an attitude not ridicule the person
that has it? How does ridiculing a practice that is perfectly sound when
correctly and not obsessively applied not ridicule the person who is in a
fix and desperately trying to sort out a problem applying it? How does
ridiculing an idea successfully applied by respected professionals not
ridicule those same professionals? I would also wonder if ridicule is ever
acceptable or professional."
Amen! Eric, you are now officially on my hero list. I don't think anyone
could have said it better (not just the excerpt shown above, but your
entire post). Thank you!
