Dissent is what sharpens our thinking, allowing a new view, a new perspective. The desire to stifle dissent---as is going on with Wiki Leaks--is to me a dangerous symptom of autocratic control. Dissent is good.

The very benefit of these lists is the opportunity to read diverse ideas and views. When we disagree with a point of view, as adults we can challenge it or ignore it.

If a viewpoint is at great odds with the general trends of thinking in the group, no one will respond, and the writer will understand the concept if not the actuality of "shunning" and will eventually grow tired of the silence.
