Definitely not looking for a fight with the asking, but would it be correct to say that is Steve's premise, and the acceptance or non-acceptance of that premise as 'true' is based on one's own paradigm and perhaps unexamined assumptions?



My own perceptions and interpretations is that many folks have attempted to step lightly through a minefield, based on prior knowledge of how Mudcat discussions, and in particular, how some several folks historically and predictably may be expected to respond or react.

Thus far, viewed from my own paradigm, the stepping lightly has been more successful than not in service to a really informative thread.
