"We tend to put on the armor when we begin to feel uncomfortable, and with the armor comes a certain amount of deafness and blindness."

Granted. I use my armor against extremist views, unjustified character assassinations, bigotry, pointless partisan bickering, pissing matches etc. However, when you want to challenge my ideas, the armor is removed, the gloves are off, take your best shot, as you may expect to feel mine ... we will both be effected under such circumstances and what doesn't kill us will heal us.
