Giuseppe, it is part of my file of quotations; each of my postings
has one added on randomly. I don't find out which one until I read
the finished posting. The line is not specifically directed at you.


:I think that you must
:reflect on this phrase and to be more educated .

The quotation is a reminder, counseling patience with other posters, as
the "free marketplace of ideas" includes the right to express ideas in
ways that might at first seem odd, argumentative, or even stupid.
As my ideas might seem the same way to others, the quote is a reminder
to myself as well, that any courtesies that I expect to be
extended to myself, I must be prepared to extend to others.

The quotation suggests, by its reference to the choice of wording as
a "right", that before attacking others, that one should pause
and mentally recognize their humanity (or canineity ;-) ) and review
one's initial reaction to their posting, seeking a deeper understanding
before replying.
