We all love dissent until someone dissent until someone dissents with us, even when they are on our side.

*Basic premise alert*

' Some of us don't 'love dissent' for dissent's sake, as you seem to propose.

Some of us love 'truth'.

Dissent is either truth or not truth, so 'loving dissent' is a child-like response. Like Hillary saying 'dissent is patriotic'.

Mark me down for truth, please. You can have your dissent.

It seems like you’re dissenting dissent just for the sake of not dissenting.

So your saying you resent dissent and do not consent to such argument...how decent

“Mark me down for truth, please. You can have your dissent”

I spoke philosophically about dissent. I wasn’t dissenting with anything in particular.

I support dissent as an exercise, learned that during my career. Dealing with objections calmly is the key to selling. It hones your presentation and is a good thing.

Dissent bothers people when they are insecure. When people are confident, they simply answer dissent with their best points and move on.

Keep rocking, the general situation on the election looks better to me than most casual observers seem to think.

Thanks Bags. You said that much better than me.

I want truth.

Much of the current dissent reminds me of kids yelling, “DID NOT!” “DID SO!”

Just argument for the sake of argument. No purpose.

They want us divided.

My position precisely. I think I had an old tagline, went something like this:

Thirst for truth is the most valuable possession and no one can take it away from you.
