Subject: RE: BS: Mind-Changing at Mudcat?
In general, it was an enrichment experience where I learnt a lot, and broadened my vision of folk and traditional, which I confess, was very poor, and continues to be, but improving rapidly.

In particular, one case I recall was when I realized that other's thoughts about a particular question are not simply his/her beleifs, but they could probably be a part of the person's KNOWLEDGE, in other words, I should not assume that his/her opinions are blindly based upon faith, because they could be based upon facts that I don't see. It's a part of the art of tolerance which should not be forgotten.

The others should also learn to not accuse me to be close-minded, perhaps they are not giving sufficiently strong arguments for their opinions.

I've also learnt many things from Spaw besides music, but cannot tell you.
