-Removed-DG's response is quite telling.
This is the first post on this thread that DG edited text out of the "Originally Posted By" box. In his previous five responses to me, he left it unedited. Toward what end? Below is the paragraph from my original post that DG edited down to one sentence:
Your questions are interesting in and of themselves. Do you think you can better understand someone by gaining understanding of their views or by asking them to label themselves? As for me, I think the former. Labels are not only superficial at best, they are often misleading,
Clearly a much better understanding of someone can be gained by understanding their views rather than asking them to label themselves. Rather than answer the question honestly, DG edited out the surrounding text in an awkward attempt to obscure this fact. It's a demonstration of his underhandedness.
That DG responded to an "either / or " question with "Yes" just makes his blatant underhandedness all the more laughable.
Of course there was also the underhandedness from DG's previous response that I called him out on that he also edited out rather than address it.
-Removed-If anyone is "pretending" it is you. For someone who purports to be "forthright, intellectually honest and unequivocal", it's interesting how your depiction of my response distorts it into something it's not.
I'll put my response out there again:
Your questions are interesting in and of themselves. Do you think you can better understand someone by gaining understanding of their views or by asking them to label themselves? As for me, I think the former. Labels are not only superficial at best, they are often misleading,
Of course, perhaps the concepts put forth there are also too far beyond your grasp.
