No, Jack there is no apology coming. No, Jack, I am not speaking in my role as a moderator. And no, Jack, I am not worried about the implied threat in your post. I would suggest that you save that type of thing. It is a road fraught with peril.

As to my comment to mind your own business, I meant it. My comment to Carol was not addressed to you. The last time I checked, Carol is a worthy opponent in a debate, always well informed on her position, and does not need anyone to "protect" her or speak for her. Where I come from, women are very capable of handling their own discussions and don't need male protectors to speak for them. I have always found this so with Carol. I don't mind having a debate/discussion with you on a subject. But it is with you. As to Carol, she speaks just fine for herself.
