Then I was dismayed by the dancing around your main theme that ereading was deterimental to "critical thinking". This was most pronounced by your "new" thread People who "read" on computer screens and Kindles have rewired brains? This thread was introduced with the warning to "read slowly"
This thread post was backed up by a "fictional future discovery" by neuroscientists. One of your "fictional future neuroscientists" even stated this:
I think you might get along better here if you took the time to get to know us (if it helps, you might want to try reading slowly).
I personally would appreciate a toning down of the patronizing language. We are a great bunch here, even the ones from the US. |
Accepted. Well said. I do want to get to know everyone here better and I know and am sure you are all a great bunch here. That's is how I first approached this forum, led here by a great guy named Steve Jordan, so I thought I was in a civil place. So I was quite surprised by the animosity here. Ouch. This is not the America I used to know. SIGH.....
But
clogging up the front page? Look up clogging, Donn.
