Fans Of Michael Moore

[Madison]

In the recent past, a thread here about atheism effectively became, simultaneoulsy, a debate about whether we ought to be allowed to discuss atheism at all and a challenge to the atheist viewpoint.

Here, we have a thread specifically in search of "fans of Michael Moore." This is not a thread for people who dislike Michael Moore and it might do some a bit of good to recognize and respect that and keep quiet about their discontent. If you feel compelled to proselytize further about Michael Moore's work, perhaps you'd consider starting your own thread in search of like-minded people.

Debate and conversation should be encouraged, of course, but it is equally important to respect and provide safe spaces for congruent individuals to share and learn from one another in anticipation of the inevitable onslaught of ideas and views in opposition to their own.

I liked "Bowling for Columbine" but detested "Fahrenheit 9/11" and can understand why many would not like Moore's brand of 'documentary,' just as I can understand why some may not feel that atheism is a valid theology. What I am yet to understand is why those people can't afford even the slightest modicum of respect for those seeking others like themselves and, instead, must try to satiate an unceasing need to espouse their own contradictory, unsolicited views.
