Can Somebody be Only 10% Wrong?

Bloggers, I beseech you.

If there is a way to understand that people can have good ideas. They can even have great ideas. But they can have a point that is wrong. Or a point that you don't agree with.

It doesn't make their whole being or their whole blog wrong.

This was a PSA.

Miriam-

i believe yes to all of the above.

i believe that the key is to be respectful. i think that is what is lacking in most instances.

i enjoy reading this blog as well as your live from Israel blog. i have questions that i have not ever had an opportunity to ask a black Jewish person. i know italian jews, persian jews and american jews--no black jews. will you let me know if you would be open to dialogue?

i love to learn and seek the truth in all things. i find it difficult when people are so quick to anger and maried to their refusal to move past their natural inclination response to get to a place of understanding.

blessings to you,
