Respectful Disagreement: Keep an Open Mind About Dissent on dKos

Mon Dec 13, 2004 at 01:05:07 PM PDT

What does liberal mean?  Among the many definitions given in the Oxford English Dictionary are:

Free from narrow prejudice; open-minded, candid.

and

Free from bigotry or unreasonable prejudice in favour of traditional opinions or established institutions; open to the reception of new ideas or proposals of reform.

Most of us here would consider us liberals.  I certainly consider myself one.  Which is why it is very troubling to me to see people troll-rate people because they express a different opinion.
