Neale is a funny motherfucker. Child stars with web sites have this confusing, myopic effect on my perception. Metafilter is becoming an online resell store where you have to sift through piles of shit to find the gems. Oh, I get it. An opinion is no longer humble when it is used in the context of discussion in opposition to another's argument.
True humility is voiceless, a quiet certainty.
It seems to me that if there were a certainty about things in my life, I would feel no need to explain or argue them to another that may have a different belief or approach. In the vein of being humble, I would know that there is as much value and truth in their freedom of thought as my own. In any event metafilter wouldn't be nearly as active and entertaining if a majority of the nets population were to be as spiritually evolved as some. I understand it too. At no time do I feel more powerful than the times my voice is strong and clear, words full of the power of self-righteous indignation flowing in an unstoppable torrent.
