It doesn't threaten anything of mine. If I ignore it (after reading it), it will be for a more fundimental reason -- because it doesn't make sense with the reality that I see and have experienced in my life.
I'm just kind of let down because I enjoy the intellectual discourse on this forum. That means people exchanging and exploring ideas. Slapping an editorial up that someone else wrote doesn't satisfy either of those concepts since it's not you communicating. You're just repeating an already published article with no additional value added. In my eyes, that makes you somewhat reduntant to the communiciation process, not to mention it belittles your own ability to create an original thought. After a while I'll just be conditioned to ignore you all together since you (yourself) are not saying anything, and you would have demonstrated the inability to contribute anything of value to the growth of culture and intellect in the world. If Eugene Robinson chose to join us here to discuss his ideas, I know that I'd appreciate his contribution.
