Questioning vs Doubting

@Dan~ I would like to add ‘preaching’, to the annoyance of ‘doubting’ …when some mistake preaching for debate.

Should we not have empathy to one who is ensnared by their own thoughts?

I don’t know, until recently I would have said yes, but it is proving very hard to have any kind of empathy for you and your deliberately repetitive egoistic ignorance.

Frustration can emerge when one blames the other for one’s inability to invoke change.
Before attacking the other, perhaps we can reflect on our own shortcomings.

I would like to note on the record regarding being genuine, open and transparent:
There’s been a long history of members from a different community actively seeking to undermine / harass ILP and it’s members.
Why? For bragging rights and a crusade against ‘inferior’ folk. Seemingly rooted in some jaded old dude’s feelings of betrayal at being banned.
Terribly philosophical stuff.

It feels awfully rich that it’s iambiguous in the crosshair when there’s other blatantly disingenuous parties also being named.
This is not so much a case of defense for iambiguous, [I’m steering clear of that battle]… rather, a case for perspective.

Appearances don’t tell the entire a story, and even if someone appears inauthentic, doesn’t alone make it so. Vice versa.
Maybe iambiguous might be more sincere than you realize, and other parties less so.

As to you general point, Dan -

I agree there are limits to the utility of doubt.
It has it’s place, but is not a solve all.
It can detrimental when handled without care.

Furthermore, as I think you allude to: one can question / assess something,
without needing to introduce one’s initial / current impressions into the evaluation.
One can evaluate something, without the question of doubt / belief entering the equation.

Please stop doing whatever it is you think you’re doing, it has nothing at all to do with philosophy.
