Obviously not. I've jumped the gun myself a time or two.

Since we're on the subject, i'll have my say. I agree with HG, Lex, and the others who said (more or less) if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. No one should think their opinions and ideas are free from scrutiny. I learn more from people whose ideas, culture, gender, background, sexuality, or lifestyle differ from mine. It's the only to acquire objectivity about anything in this life. Plenty of people will spout their opinions as gospel and turn a deaf ear to anything anyone has to offer. I tend to have the least amount of respect for those people.

I also have the least amount of respect for people who don't/won't admit they're wrong about something especially if they know they're wrong. I don't know why people seem to think admitting that will make them seem weak but they do. Guess it's easier for some to think they're always right. I truly pity them. If you can't recognise or refuse to recognise when you're wrong about something then you have no business starting a conversation about anything. Being wrong is part of being human. Failure to accept that is failure to grow the fuck up.
