However there are so many many posts here that start off broadbrushing/generalizing whole groups of people or telling other people what that person REALLY believes that it makes hard to respect the person behind those statements. I recently posted what I thought was a pretty respectful logical OP about stereotyping and had it not only immediately misinterpreted but when *I* attempted to clarify what I said, was told that *I* wasn't really saying that. Its hard to hold rational respectful debates with this kind of thing.
In other words in people would stop broad brushing groups and jumping to conclusions based on reading miscomprehension maybe this would be a better place....
