Scribbles, it made good sense to me. Of course, as I have often said, sense is what you make of it. :)

I'm sorry, Voronwë, but I must vehemently disagree.

This is simply not an appropriate forum in which to discuss "hot-bottom" issues, however exciting you may find them.

Interesting thread.

I love debating as well and I never ever get offended, really, my wife says I have the patience of a saint. I don't know about that, since I may have the patience of a saint but you would not want to cross my path when I'm angry.

What really irks me when I'm debating on a messageboard is that some people will say "I don't like the death penalty or Bush is an idiot" without even explaining why they stand behind that issue or why they made that comment. I guess, I'm the kind of person who always asks the question "Why?" or always looking for the facts.
