Your views align pretty closely with mine: ignorance isn't a cardinal sin, but willful ignorance is.
The fact that you're taking an educational approach rather than coming after me with a board that has a nail sticking out of it is refreshing for online communities. More people need to just chill.
On dude: sorry, my age is showing - lexicon needs an update and I haven't got there yet but I'm working on it
Yeah, it's an important distinction to make. And I have to agree, it would be nice to have more exchanges like this, but with the state of the world it isn't really surprising that people are generally angrier, be it for good reason or bad (anti-racist vs racist, for example), it's when people are mostly on the same page that the animosity really confuses me lol. The last part goes back to the top - we're all learning all the time, the important thing is to stay open to it and grow from it.
