Is logic a method for attacking people and making them feel bad?
This is not a problem with logic. This is a problem with the way people argue. There is no reason to be afraid of logic. There are times I have pointed at my mother and criticized her for how illogical she was. Instead, I should have been looking back at myself and criticizing my lack of concern for her feelings. There are two types of arguments. There are those arguments which leave bruises on people. There are also thoughtful arguments between calm people who use logic to get to the bottom of an issue. We need more of the latter type of arguments.
