"it would help the thread no end if you could simply relax, let posters with counter views put up their thoughts and not try to hammer them into submission. How about thinking of the thread as an ongoing conversation in which everyone learns from one another. Rather than a debate forum in which the last one to type wins." You are really unbelievable, professor.

John, I'll make you a deal. If you don't tell me what to post, I won't tell you what to post. I have not noticed the posters on this thread running away in terror at the prospect of a debate. On the contrary, they seem able to defend their positions quite ably. Some of us find debates more educational than cooing, "thank you dear, for that interesting point of view." In fact, I thought debating issues was one of the points of a discussion thread such as FADG.
