Hehe, remember that you can drag the bottom-right corner of the comment field to make it taller and thus easier to write longer comments =)

Personally, the way I see it, if ones intention is not to deliberately insult nor hurt other people, then it is up to the other people to stay calm, to read and to reply in a polite and humane manner. Or, at least, that is what I think myself when I'm writing =) I'm aware that sometimes my tricky sense of humour is skating on the thin ice, running the risk of upsetting someone. But, on the other hand, that has also been one of the frequent themes in my blog posts; many of the stories involve fictional examples of people misunderstanding others and then getting upset. That happens a lot in real life, too. And we can't completely avoid it.

Hehe, and again, let me remind that this fictional story about fictional tribes does NOT aim to be any 1:1 analogue of real life contemporary politics. So, the tribes aren't a metaphor of two major parties in USA, nor are they metaphors of 'individualists' vs 'collectivist' as such. So, strictly speaking, if you ask me, we aren't even discussing politics in itself. We are discussing the different ways people see values, the different argumentations people use to justify their basic beliefs. And everyone is free to expres their own basic beliefs, their own justifications, and even their own interpretations how they see differing values and arguments.
