In reply to the discussion: Millions Worldwide March Against Monsanto [View all]FarrenH
(768 posts)55. Copying and pasting this aknowledgement from upthread
In moments of clarity I realise my way of arguing about this is terrible and probably gets people's backs up rather than convincing them. I insult freely and often in a certain mood. Forgive me. Having been at the receiving end of similar online vitriol, I realize it angers rather than convincing. I should have a yellow sticky on the corner of my screen reminding me of this all the time. I believe there is a lot of wrongheaded thinking about GMOs qua GMOs, despite valid concern about IP law, commercial and biological ethics, ecology, et al/ But also know I have and probably do believe a lot of wrongheaded things so I really am not providing a courtesy I hope to receive from others.
