I think everybody here is open to Steve's ideas.
But here's my problem. Who's Steve "attacking" with the aggressive and condescending article? Us? His readers? WE are the ones that are here because we care, remember? We wouldn't be here if all we cared about was having a 9 to 5, come home watch TV, eat a nice mcmuffin and drink some Coke. All I'm saying is that Steve doesn't need to make such an aggressive "case" on us, OK, you showed us how the chickens are treated, no need for the extra Nazi stuff, or the attempt to make us relinquish eggs all together.
If we had a Nazi mentality/level of consciousness, would we even be here, reading Steve's blog and participating in the forums? Isn't this all about loving and supporting each other, trying to better ourselves and the world by influencing the collective consciousness in a positive manner?
Yes, I know, Steve might think the only way to make change happen is to be aggressive sometimes, to act,not just standby. Still, his aggressiveness and use of the word Nazi makes no sense to me in a blog that is read by his adepts anyway. And for such an article to leave the circle of friends/readers and try to convert others would be hard, given that people usually don't react well to attacks. You can catch more bees with honey I guess. So, in the end, what was the purpose of the article? |
Why do you feel attacked by Steve? Is it that he said something stupid that is totally wrong? In that case you would know it's wrong and you could say: Steve you're totally wrong on this one. And you didn't need a defensive reaction.
But most people react defensive on this blog post. Why?
I think it's because something inside you knows he's right. But you're not ready to deal with this truth yet.
And again, this post by Steve explains these "attacks":
