Those who flee the battlefield of ideas...

Larry J — 9/26/2001 1:41:13 PM (archived)

rather than putting up a fight aren't accomplishing anything. Ideas should be openly challenged rather than throwing terms like "intolerance" at people who dare disagree. It takes pressure to make a diamond. That applies to ideas as well. I still see fleeing from battle as a sign of weakness, but that's just my opinion.
