That's a real "bipolar" approach, Karen. Can't you see the "nuance" here? Apparently not. Let me reduce the question to it simplest format in the hopes that that will produce a straight-forward answer. The statement was: "People who associate only with the like-minded can sometimes forget that their opinions are just opinions, that their ideology is, in fact, an ideology and that good and reasonable people may disagree. As a result, alternative points of view may be demonized, and institutional intimidation and tacit censorship can begin to exclude opposing voices on the levels of both production and criticism." Do you agree or disagree with that statement? If you find that question too "bi-polar," let me make it clear that I was in no way asking for an absolute yes or an absolute no.
