In the same way that we might expect anyone who makes a claim on our time and resources to pass such a preliminary test, I think that it is reasonable for me to list my objections and queries and ask that they be addressed before I will take seriously what are (to me) a novel set of complaints........


Sure. The question is the tone or the attitude with which one does that. If my neighbor is upset about the volume of my TV or my dog or whatever, do I stick my nose up in the air and demand evidence before I give her some of my time or do I offer her a cup of tea and invite her to tell me about it? Which one fosters the kind of community that you and I want to live in? I think that we should be instinctively receptive to hearing people, not instinctively dismissive.
