Re: Well now is anyone using this tool? EDITED !!!
Not really. I have no antipathy towards anyone, especially anonymous people.
I only ask questions. By questioning we learn, except in cases where everyone agrees at the onset, and in those cases, no learning is possible. Edit + ----- This is why venues (including communist countries) which do not allow either questioning nor disagreement, can never move in any wise other than that of a crab, either sideways or backwards, but never forward. The only thing keeping such venues in existence was the money flow. Yet, all of the grain credits from the US still couldn't keep the Soviet system afloat.
Thus, those who do not entertain questions, are really just saying that they don't like learning. Often, this is because new principles or thoughts can be painful to those set in their ways. It is why Edison was kicked out of grade school, because he asked the schoolmaster too many questions.
For that ejection, we should all be thankful that for his loving mother, Nancy (Elliott) Edison, who home schooled the young Thomas.
Just becuase folks ask questions, does not necessarily mean there is animosity, but perhaps to those who are pre-disposed to grasping for reasons to explain situations which are unfamiliar. We're all learning !
