Yup. I said my piece before this got delivered, but I second what
Rick is saying here. I'm not out to muzzle anyone, but I would ask
all to look carefully and try to understand the issues beneath the
rhetoric, especially when that rhetoric gets either heated
emotionally or tortured semantically so that one has to diagram it to
understand it. The former turns me off because it appeals to the part
of the human animal that makes the least wise though often most
honest decisions, the latter because it is hard to tell whether
obfuscation is intentional, habitual or an attempt to appeal to an
intellectual level I am incapable of appreciating.
Ciao,
