Brown is the new green : comments [A Bug's Life]

That wasn't me being evangelical - that was only me explaining why I disagree with some of your conclusions :-)

It is nice, sometimes, to have one's decisions respected regardless of whether you agree with them. Especially when one has gone to the trouble of giving the matter serious and sensible thought before making the decision.

This feels like it is pressing the same buttons as confrontation with someone trying to get you to change utility supplier. "No, we have considered the options and believe that changing would be more trouble than it's worth." "But don't you want to save money?"

Hang on ... where did I say that I didn't respect your decisions? You made some points about composting, and I responded to those points. I know your situation, I was mostly talking generally - most of what I said applies to municipal composting.

Of course you didn't say that. You're a nice person who respects people!

The easiest reading of your initial responses is that you're seeing my points and suggesting ways in which they could be overcome - thus encouraging me to change my mind right now (which I don't want to do right now). I see now that it can also be read in a more generally helpful way.

Arg. I'm sorry, I want to explain more but I really don't have time to continue this conversation. Big deadline tomorrow.
