You wrote:<font color=blue>"Actually, Robert Barry is a very nice, reasonable fellow...."<font color=black> You are a very aggressive poster, with very strong convictions, some of which do not match mine. For you to post a statement like this, about someone of whom you have disagreements, is a credit to you and your character. In fact, I significantly and deliberately toned down, and changed some of my more extreme views out of respect for you and a few other "conservative" members of SI. You would not have posted a comment like this about me a year or two ago, and you would have been correct! I have learned a lot communicating on SI, mostly from moderates and conservatives. I have also learned that the only way we are going to get along in this world is through compromise. Sometimes, of course, compromise is not possible. Regards. Keep up the good fight! |
