It is Intensity so if you disagree, then you should argue. If someone misrepresents you, you should take them to town.
That said, it ought to be rational, honest and fair, and also inline with the shit going on.
A few years ago a drop in member (sophist of asdgestalt.com) said something I disagreed with. I overreacted by a few days later I had realised I had really gone too far. 6months or so later, she dropped and I was waiting with a sincere public apology. She did not remember but I did and an apology was merited
