Hello Cuddle Community!!!! After an amazing thread by @HogboblinZwei and all of the ensuing posts.... I wanted to try and put into practice some of the tips and suggestions about discussing an idea or opinion in a manner that can bring about lively conversation and an exchange of thoughts about meaningful things that doesn't dissolve into personal attacks.
@HogboblinZwei @Babichev @DaringSprinter and others mentioned
Criticizing ideas is NOT the same as criticizing the person

One of the motivating forces in my life is curiosity, and the desire to learn. I've come to recognize that I learn more when I'm listening than I do when I'm talking.
As others have mentioned, there are many on this forum who welcome a healthy exchange of ideas
I am hopeful to hear all sorts of ideas about this and maybe we can separate our ideas from our identities and just practice healthy discussing so as to not lock up the thread
I'm not going to attach a poll or anything because I think in this instance it would narrow the field of perspectives. I can imagine that there will be a ton of different backgrounds and opinions on this subject.
Do you believe ALL human beings have VALUE?
