          @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson What I see here is something wrong with Twitter, on all sides of the conversation: pettiness.

        @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson I see this loop all the time: 1. read statement one disagrees with. / 2. Seek out a reason to disqualify the speaker instead of the argument

      @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson It's the exact opposite of the Wikipedia principle of Assume Good Faith. And yes, Jhanisse and Devin and Bret and Kathryn all did that to some extent here.

    @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson I'm chiming in, not in defense of authority, but in defense of the clear right to be listened to. In this case, around a person who has put in the time to learn and support.

      @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson No single linguistic dispute/mistake disqualifies that. And the accusation of colonialism here is either an overgeneralization or cheapens the term.

        @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson Most importantly, if the goal is to bring a our knowledge and experience #onhere, then we should use this space to listen and benefit from that of others, even those we disagree with vehemently.

          @db_beaulieu @JhanisseVDaza @bretgustafson My point is about using Google is simply this: an ad hominen attack that runs counter to the person one can readily learn about from searching the person you're attacking is a waste of everyone's time.
