I'll also expect to see you stepping up to the plate the next time somebody hits a foul one in that regard. I'd be happy to have the company, believe me.


Poet, there are a lot of discussions going on concurrently on all these threads. It's really hard to keep focused if you're trying get an understanding of something. People are commenting on other subjects. People are commenting on one's own subject but different tangents. To stay focused, you have to just skip over a lot of extraneous stuff.

I don't think any conclusions about anyone's views can be drawn from that person's failure to engage the extraneous stuff.

Nor do I think one has to step up to the plate every time one sees something disagreeable. When the offense reaches critical mass, there is an obligation, but not before. Otherwise we'd all be squabbling all the time. Or maybe I should say that's why so many of us are squabbling all the time.
