Anyhow, I see that the conversation is breaking down, and I sense how it is going to end. Before it does, perhaps I shall bid my adieu and wish good luck.

I will note that, in all this talk about approaching those hardened ones with words, showing them the way with reason and compassion, not violence; all it took us were three or four rounds of posts for us to give up. Block, move on. And we want to have THIS as the sole wiinning strategy to deal with bullies. Harassers. Abusers. Intellectually closed. People who are so immersed into their fog of mind that they cannot see any further than their own voices.

We go with our lives in the world of flesh. Controversy? Block, move on? Confrontation? Block, move on? Difference of opinion or politics? Block, move on? That really worked well for us here in the US.
