These issues are essential and some of the very most important questions a person could possibly raise (in my opinion).
If none of these questions deserves a second of your time...kindly consider what questions you spend you time on.
Keep in mind that I have only ever started about 4 threads on this board...2 of which directly dealt with diabetes and diabetic issues.
You need not respond to my questions or postings. But, respectfully, they are issues and questions that are indeed worth consideration.
By the way, I have many things to say. Whole realms of issues and ideas that I enjoy hashing out with others – friends and strangers. You will (no doubt) continue to hear from me.
Please ignore me if you so choose, however, since I am (usually) only responding to others' postings, consider that alternate viewpoints are required to balance any point of view.
Refusing to answer when the questions get sticky shows a level of thoughtlessness…a habit of shooting off opinions without carefully weighing statements made (something I am in the annoying habit of doing as well…none of us are immune!).
When opinions are (thoughtfully) challenged, opinions can be modified, changed and grow. This process happens to me at least once a day. It is one of the true benefits of dialogue.
Any may email me should they be hesitant or too embarrassed to respond "in public".
