Wanna Ask me something? Awesome! Scroll down for an ask link! NOTE: If you're going to use my Ask Box, PLEASE be RESPECTFUL! Think of it as if you're being invited into my home. If you're a jerk to me, you get what you get. Fair Warning!

“
RULE 9.
YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SAY, WITH REASONABLE CERTAINTY, “I UNDERSTAND,” BEFORE YOU CAN SAY ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS: “I AGREE,” OR “I DISAGREE,” OR “I SUSPEND JUDGMENT.”
These three remarks exhaust all the critical positions you can take. We hope you have not made the error of supposing that to criticize is always to disagree. That is a popular misconception. To agree is just as much an exercise of critical judgement on your part as to disagree. You can be just as wrong in agreeing as in disagreeing. To agree without understanding is inane. To disagree without understanding is impudent.
