GfS: We are all gonna have rough edges from time to time. Allow me to attest to this: Don Firth is an honourable man, well-read and honest ALL the time. One of the pleasures of arguing with him is this: it's not about winning/losing with Don, it's about arriving at mutual understanding. Given the chance, you'll find him to be that way.

Sometimes in political debates/discussions (or religious discussions) it's very easy to lose sight of the debate's/discussion's purpose. Well, it's easy for me, anyway. I don't wanna turn this into a LHOTP or Walton's episode, but please reassess your position a bit. There has to be give and take.

And that's it from this mountain top somewhere in Tibet. Or British Columbia. Well, ok it's a hill in Quebec, but on a clear day you can see the Big Dipper when it's night, and one can think with one's eyes closed.
