Good Faith

One of the things that has driven me to start my own platform is that I have curtailed myself in commenting on other blogs or news sites. This is self censorship that I have imposed upon myself because I have become frustrated with the level of bad faith from a segment of people who comment.

In order to have a society that will do the most good for the largest amount of people you need to have a critical mass of individuals who will interact with Good Faith.

 Is it worth even having discussions with a person who will continually shift their positions? Is it worth attempting to change the mind of a person who appears more concerned about scoring points?

The hard question becomes how do you know when to disengage and move on? How do you find those willing to be civil and work with them?
