Not brilliant.

Rude.

Whatever problems one may have with JohnM's argumentation can be dealt with reasonably and courteously. Although I'll agree with you and CB that JohnM is often evasive and hard to pin down, these tactics can be pointed out without the need to resort to language such as was quoted by CB.

You one must admit that for the most part John is courteous.

There's always Yahoo! if anyone wishes to call another poster's tactics those of a "dying cockroach."

I'll be the first to admit that JohnM has gotten my goat in the past and that I've responded inappropriately. But I've had my ride down the road to Damascus.......no pun intended.

Derek,

I'm going to call you on this one. If you wish to make those remarks to CB in a PM, you should do so. But it's rude to do so on the public forum.

That's not a response to a personal attack; it's initiating one.

As long as you, Derek, and CobaltBlue don't apologize publicly to JohnM or aren't banned FADG isn't my place any more. The "dying cockroach" label is beyond ugly.
