Wayne, While the ³idea² may be absurd in someone¹s mind, it is not disconnected from the ³person² behind it. It is my belief that the exchange of ideas [and, possibly the discarding if ideas] needs to be done respectfully. Respectful of the person. Very few people can disconnect the rejection of their ideas or thoughts from any real sense of who they are. Most people would feel belittled if their thoughts or ideas were labeled absurd.
