I had an interesting interaction with Penn Jillette this afternoon. Thoughts about our Twitter dialogue? Is he right, am I right, or are we both wrong?

@AlanCult Altering memories of a loved one and thinking your lies are helping seems the definition of hate to me.

@pennjillette It concerns me too (probably for some of the same and some different reasons). Why do you find it hateful though?

@pennjillette Thanks. I don’t know if I would call it hate, but I do think it’s horrible. “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
Oh…and then I tweeted on more thing:

@pennjillette You and I definitely have different worldview, but I respect your consistency and have learned quite a bit from you. Thanks.
Ugh…forgot to put an ‘s’ on worldview… 🙂
