There are 2 kinds of arguments. One that is full of emotion and has no mind and the second where one party tries to get the other party to see his or her point of view. While it may sound like I’m in the first category I assure you I’m in the second. Trust me, you haven’t brused me at all. In fact, you’re one of the few who give a lively argument and I enjoyed it. Never back down from a position that you believe in but always be flexible and open enough to see the other person’s point of view. As you can see we’ve agreed more than once and I’ve remembered things that tempered my argument from what you’ve said.
Hopefully we all learn from this which is the purpose of the forum I think.
