I agree
This computer world lets you experiment. I have decided that it isn't "nice" (imo) to objectify people based on their opinions, when you do not know what those opinions might be. I don't want to throw away a whole class of people who might be "liberal" or "conservative". I am perfectly willing to throw people out individually, once I know exactly what their opinions are, but to collectively dismiss people strikes me as wasteful, and needlessly bigoted.

I have tried harder and harder in this medium to limit my remarks to the exact portion of humanity they are really aimed at. It is exhausting to try for exactness all the time, but I am working on it. I still tend to classify group thinkers and knee jerkers of ALL persuasions as lemmings- but perhaps there are even gradations among lemmings.
