You discuss "the hate campaign." Is your "selfish agenda" to incite hate? Have you become a product of your own conviction? I see from reviewing your past posts that you use words that incite harsh responses. I see from reading past posts from a lot of posters here, that they do the same thing. I don't doubt that you are all serious, but you don't have dialogue with a bunch of people for a year or more without developing some kind of respect for one another. If there was no respect I would venture to guess that a person would: a. move on to another place where he WOULD get respect. b. get more and more vitriolic and eventually become completely ostracized from the thread. I believe that in reality many of you feel like brothers. Brothers that just can not agree. I don't believe that all of you get along or admire each other. Just that there is respect and that those kinds of relationships have to develop. There are reasons that you all keep coming back. I don't pretend to know what they all are. For the most part, I think most of you guys are having a good time. You are releasing a lot of pent up anxiety and stress. And that you are all stubborn. As for hate, I have not met one poster here that I could hate. Have you? I don't know you, I don't like your tactics, but I respect your right to disagree with me, even though you are wrong.<g> You don't know me, and if you don't respect my rights to disagree I will ignore you. It is getting past that reality that has this thread tied up in little knots. Maybe the sooner we can get past the childish verbal shots, the, my gun is better than your gun game, the sooner we can come to an understanding as to why we are really here? I don't have much hope of that happening, I mean look at the Middle East. I would give better odds of it happening here. At least there is constant dialogue. With constant dialogue, there is a chance at resolution. It will be interesting to see if this thread ends up in the gutter or on top of the mountain. M
