Just a clarification, Mr. Niggardly Bastard. I didn't actually agree with anything that Jack The Sailor had said prior to his posting my 'welcome' post. In fact, I was expressing my disagreement with the tendency to deviate from arguing the point and instead denigrating the person.

And interestingly enough, some of the people that I had the strongest disagreement with in that area ended up giving what I thought were 'delightful' responses on my welcome post.

I thank them.

And I would welcome you to do the same thing.
