Musket, Greg F., Steve Shaw (and a few others who are simply not coming to mind right now) I wonder if you might consider that you are are each and collectively closed systems from perhaps constructive feedback. As closed, albeit along different avenues, as those who you feel free to dehumanize because of their closed belief systems.

Also wonder if you ever reflect on the logical dissonance encompassed in your assertions that those who espouse beliefs that are irrational (or to some extent are simply different from your own beliefs) or invalidating of others deserve to be invalidated when those values you say are so dear are about valuing the worth of other human beings.
