This was a previous comment made by this male person to another male person.

This discussion seems to have taken the form of "he said, she said," and

the larger issues seem more important to me. The largest issue there is is

compassion.

Such

Let our world views shake. I'm all for it. And let them shake until they

are able to be fully open to all that is.

Let's all do our best. A lot of ruckus seems to erupt when people start

pointing out deficiencies to others. I don't know if you noticed this? This

*pointing out of others' deficiencies* has been the theme of this entire

emotionally laden thread on all sides.

I was not pointing out 'deficiencies'. I was pointing out the obvious (IMO,

of course). Interesting that you chose the concept 'deficiencies' -
