I see such people as a part of the larger body of humanity. I am inseparably connected to them. It makes no sense to turn my back on them and punish them.

I love it that there are still people who don't agree with locking criminals up. I always hated the idea of prison. Especially now since I watched Prison Break. I don't know if the real prisons are like that or not, but I bet at least some of them are. But the mere thought of depriving someone of freedom for some part of their life is much worse than most crimes that might have gotten those people in jail.

Imagine if I ran this website so as to avoid revealing anything about myself that might offend or annoy certain people.

What would be left? Most likely we’d have a pretty generic self-help site. There would still be some decent articles, but I think you’ll agree that something precious would be lost.

Oh, that means you've been lucky so far, Steve. If I were to write a website that would offend nobody, I would be left with NOTHING! Last day I got criticized by a very religious person who had a problem with my article "How to Stop Worrying". He said this is a wrong theory and that it is unnatural to stop worrying. We talked for about 3 hours online for nothing - I couldn't make him understand what worrying means and why people who stopped worrying would be better Christians, if that is what he wishes, cause they would be better at building churches and helping other people. I did my best but with no success. The thing that annoyed me was that he seemed to understand what logic was and demand it of me, but didn't seem to employ much of it himself. Anyway - there is no way you can please everybody. Or maybe, I don't know. I wish there were.
