You know, you really are fascinating. In an academic or socio-scientific (that's probably not a legitimate use of the root word science to some, but I don't care) sense, that is. There are few people on SI that so consistently rub people the wrong way - those you disagree with, to be specific - who aren't obvious nutcases like Duray or American Spirit. You seem intelligent enough and even display flashes of non-biting humor sometimes (like the post I'm replying to), but I have yet to see you actually debate anything of substance with anyone without getting snide and condescending. Disagreement and genuine civility seem not to be able to coexist within you at once. I'm sure you have many fine qualities, but disagreement brings out the worst in you and, as a result, the worst in others with whom you spar. For that reason, I'm proposing a truce. I actually hang out here sometimes because the topics of conversation can be interesting. So if you will try to restrain yourself, so will I. No snide comments or veiled insults either way. Keep the humor light-hearted. Disagree agreeably. Can you do that? I assure you I can. What do you say?
