Be patient. I’ll respond to the other post if you wait.
Sure. Feel free to respond. I think everyone would benefit from you contributing more to the discussion, especially if your original post didn't fully clarify your position.

It seems like a rather nice thing which helps to avoid many ego-battles.
Do not assume that the lack of response of somebody else implies anything aside from the fact that they didn’t respond. They could agree, disagree, or maybe they haven’t even read or thought about it yet — and maybe they never will because something else distracts them.
I think discussions tend to be the most productive if we assume everybody has the best intentions. :)
