I wish you would give me a few examples from this thread because I'm not sure what you mean. However, I will say this: You should experience what it feels like to have everyone gang up on you. When that happens to me, I tend to become more forceful or more direct than I otherwise would be.

I know I can be wrong, but you have to prove it to me before I accept it. This is one reason why I probably won't show up for the monthly meetings at Crispers. I feel it would only serve as an impediment to telling the truth. And I don't want to compromise the truth as I see it.
Once you, Ariel, and Pturner get together, for example, if you ever do, I believe none of you would ever disagree with the others. You would have to think about what it would do to the friendship.
As a result, intellectual integrity could be compromised.
