One thing I have observed about the quoted poster is his consistent pattern of just as he states, "logic, reason and calm" - a true gentleman, always.

To the OP, I hope you heed this wise one's advice. Don't let others on here draw you into their confrontations. I can be quilty of that myself - letting others "rent space in my head" as they say, and then regretting my own reaction to it as much as I detest their initial attack on me.

It would be nice if we could just stick to the issues on here and not get so personal. And by personal I'm referring to the nastiness, not the sharing of one's personal experiences or opinions which often add to the discussion. Unfortunately, I think some are on here just to inflame others, offering no wisdom in their posts or stimulation of thought to further discussion. It really is a shame that there isn't some form of moderation on this forum in an effort to keep it more civil. I think everyone would benefit from that, no matter what side of the fence you are on.
