Feel free to spice away, then. I'm certainly not qualified to be the Emily Post Morals Monitor on any thread. Some would say that since I'm not a Christian that, by definition, I have no morals.

I'm not offended by "florid" language and use it very frequently on the highways and byways, but it does tend to undermine one's argument in a public debate.

I remember exactly two words from my one and only freshman high school Spanish class: "Si" and.. oh, what's the word for "no" in Spanish? Oh, yeah! ..and "No". That class was taken longer ago than I care to admit.

As I stated before, it is admittedly very hard to argue reasonably when one's debate opponent has a "non-linear" view of things. A common point of reference is necessary for any debate. When one's opponent says the world is flat and you insist that the world is round, it makes arguments about map-making darn near impossible.
