I like and respect you the way you are and I prefer to label it honorable and dignified. You are now being called naive and a sucker. If you have followed this discussion recently you must know that CH and X give no value to truth, honesty, fairness, justice, honor, or human decency. I know that you held Chris in a higher esteem in the past (me too) but this observation is based on bold declarations by the two individuals. When they are addressed according to their declared outlooks they call it "attacks" making the discussions all the more interesting.

Treating people with respect and believing what they say are two very different things. You can treat someone with respect and disbelieve every word that comes out of his or mouth. Judges do it every day. I watch them sitting on the bench treating witnesses with total politeness and respect and knowing those witnesses are lying through their teeth. It's very noble to assume people are telling the truth. But as I said before, then don't every try to become a lawyer. Or a policeman. Or especially an IRS agent, where the presumption is precisely the opposite.
