"You don't always agree with me, but at least you know where I'm coming from"
I try to reconcile two contradictory impulses: enjoying a good argument and trying to understand where people are coming from.
I suspect that for many of us the Swallows and Amazons etc were so much part of our childhood mindscapes that we are simultaneously drawn towards settings where we can talk Ransome and repelled when others blunder through our private worlds.
Pretentious rubbish of course but what can you expect from a sociologist!
