Jessy, do me a personal favour and don't ever complement Karmicads again. That was the longest post I've ever seen in a forum.  Tongue
Was trying to be civil, just got more name calling for my trouble. I don't particularly object to juvenile insults (Adult professionals are fair game), but it just validates and encourages a decline is substantive dialog. Saying I'm dumb/whorish/amoral etc. is not an argument.

I know.  I am not criticizing you, I'm just amused.  You gave Karmicads a pat on the head and he got excited and posted a 6000+ word response.  I think you have been presenting your views very calmly, rationally and without malice.  You've also handled the immature responses and jeering replies very well.  I apologize for the fact that so many members of this forum seem to be incapable of accepting opinions different than theirs without resorting to ad hominems, name-calling and other school-yard behaviour. I'm not sure that I agree with you, but I appreciate your civil, logical approach to the issue.


Whiteknight.  Apologize for only yourself, you self-righteous pedant.

Don't take my post personally.  Also, count to ten before you reply.  You tend to respond out of blind emotion, though, I've seen you apologize when you were in the wrong before, which is admirable.

I will amend my statement to "I am sorry that so many members of this forum....".  That way I am not apologizing for anyone.
