Hmmh - sometimes I'm not able to make my message clear. Sorry for confusion. My post was not related to anything buma has posted in here in detail, nor to the person "buma".
It was just the strong feeling, that many of us are not really open minded.
We allow new opinions and views only to enter our mind, when it is alomost already in sync what we believe. Our "opend Mindness" is only marginal. Things that are not conform with our experiences (and perhaps what we have been tought) are degraded to "wrong" and impossible.
I have not had any special posting in mind. So I do not know what Buma has replied to your posting. Of course anyone is sometimes slightly "offtopic" or is not able to contribute anything substantial. And to give that as feedback to someone is very ok (at least for my understanding).
But as I have said above, that was not my point.
And my posting was not directed to anyone specific.
It was just an observation.
And it was true also for myself.
However - sorry for causing such a confusion!
Wish you all a great weekend!
Niels
