I'm John's a friend, Lizzie. I don't happen to agree with him on this, but I don't know what it would take for him to post a PM. Probably something more than simple disagreement.
And "trust" is a funny thing. I trust people to act as expected. There a few I trust no matter what. And there are a few who I believe will change what they believe is right based on who else is involved, what mood they're in, or how much they feel pushed. In short: I don't know what it will take for them to violate their own "rules of engagement" when I already don't understand how they can think a certain behavior is ever justified.
You gun guys: just give me a damned M-16. I'm pretty sure I could still take one apart and put it together in the dark, as long as nobody was shooting at me, an I shot expert almost every time I fired. Left-handed. (And you guys who've never had a hot casing get stuck in your bra just don't know what you're missin'!)
