Why I Quit Being So Accommodating (1922)
Reading this article was great for me. It provided a perspective that I needed with a compelling argument for it.<p>Reading the comments was a huge mistake. It mired the previous sense of insight with contradictory perspectives supported by compelling anecdotes but, crucially, no analysis more rigorous than the original article.<p>Of course, you can make a compelling case for anything if you have rhetoric and evidence isn't demanded of you, but I think there's a point where analysis is of negative value.<p>In a way, learning this lesson has been valuable in and of itself.
