Btw, Karen...

A couple of weeks ago, you were discussing ridiculing ridiculous ideas with Neocon. I was busy at the time--and did not in any case wish to intrude. Did you ever reach a resolution?

To the best of my recollection, Neo wished to claim that strongly felt ideas ought to have a certain immunity from honest ridicule, especially if they were of a religious nature. Unlike Neo, I think that the natural response to ridiculous ideas is ridicule, although it is not a necessary response in all contexts or situations. Did the two of you settle it out?
