What do we have here paul philip? Is this a cultural gap? I say I'm blunt and you say you don't pull your punches. I cop to bluntness and you want to categorize my comments as nonsensical and then accuse me of belittling and, even being a meany? Well gee, wherever do we go from here. I don't claim any moral superiority. I reject John's views as not viable. And, I don't respect his own lack of integrity for taking the position he took without more personal introspection as to why his position seems so logical. Since everyone else is capable of reading my mind, exactly why am I not afforded the same leeway? Thanks for your unsolicited opinion, but I have never had a problem being ruthlessly honest with myself. By the way, I don't consider myself all that willing to pull punches either... or, is that just a cultural thing and somehow I just committed yet another faux pas. Thanks again for the critique.
