but they should also always keep any negative opinions of you personally to themselves. Hey.. I have a pretty thick skin.... :0) And besides, if they don't back up their snide comments with some substantive facts defending their position, it's pretty obvious they are engaging in straw man logic and character assassination. On the other hand, when you demand that people answer to your questions, and then when they decline, for any number of a thousand reasons none of which are any of your business, in no way does this permit you to denigrate them at any level Demand that they answer me, or demand that I NOT respond and "out" their obivous bias and dysfunctional logic... I mean, come on FL.. Shilohcat makes the inane assertion that because Pakistan, due to internal turmoil, should be invaded by the US to destroy Al-Qaeda forces, and then John "piles on" with a "Not Bad" comment.. I'm not allowed to make the same denigrating statements they have effectively made against US policy in the region?? Message 18523600 Message 18524089 Someone has to call them on it... Why should they receive special protection from criticism when folks like myself INVITE such criticism to anyone who can defend their position?? I didn't know that dysfunctional logic was now protected under the endangered species act. I can stand the heat when I stick my neck out. That's why I'm out here... To have my logic analyzed and criticized by any number of individuals who might find fault with my thinking... If they can't find logical fault with it, then I must be on the right track, correct?? I'm sorry if others are unwilling to do the same... But that doesn't mean I should take pity upon them when I hold myself to the same standard. Hawk
