Strawman. I didn't even say you have to be nice about it and you being wrong or right doesn't matter, you can be correct in all matters of right and wrong, but what I'm saying is unrelated to that.
Quote:You're expecting me (and explaining to me thus) to see things in black and white when in fact most of the time on this forum I'm the one saying that things never are. Just because things come in shades of grey doesn't mean you can't say "this is wrong."
Well it can very well be wrong and you can say that, but what I'm saying is entirely different. Strawman again.
What am I stating, is that they don't necessarily have the perception you do that makes you see it the degree of it's ugliness or foolishness. They might have a little bit of that perception lingering in them, you can try to show them that perception, etc...but they don't necessarily have it just because you do. Doesn't mean you can't state why it's wrong or what makes is so ugly per your view, or why you find it so foolish.
And that they shouldn't be judged per the notion "they should see as I do or they do see as I do".
