jm:
Ths actually isn't true, you don't have to make a choice to dismiss
or embrace someone's point of view. You can accept it without
embracing it or dismissing it. You needn't be worried that it would
be invalidating or dismissing your own point view to not invalidate
or dismiss someone elses becuase it seems contradictory. If it seems
contradictory, just chalk it up to different points of view.
Different points of view only get nasty with each other when someone
feels the need to assert the other one is wrong. It's surprisingly
easy to be easy going and see that they are both right.

Gosh, Johnny, for someone who thinks nobody can be wrong about
anything, you sure spend a lot of time correcting us!
