More thoughts on getting offended

My critics, including Dan and his followers, express great offense because I disagree with them on a few topics and I explain why. 

Chill, people. Don't confuse your opinions with who you are. You can consider what other people think, even (especially) when they think differently from you, without taking personal offense. 

Maybe you'll even learn something new.

This tweet succinctly explains what's going on.

Disagree only offends you when your perspective is based on feelings rather than fact.

Everyone at the Interpreter should realize that, despite the name of their organization and journal, and the arrogant editorial tone of their management and editors, they are not really "Interpreters" for anyone but themselves. People can and do read the same evidence and reach different faithful conclusions.

The Interpreter would be far more effective if it stopped pushing Dan's ideology with a series of logical and factual fallacies and instead encouraged contributors and readers to share facts and multiple working hypotheses.
