.I was referring to a PM from another person. Not Augustus Gloop.

As to why I am doing "this", I actually answered that in the post you responded to. I'm not preaching to you or anybody on this thread.. I am trying to refine my way of expressing my views on topics.

When you posted your views, I made the mistake of thinking that was an indication that you were open to discussion.

I purposely go to threads where I know my views will be challenged. I want to see if my arguments hold up under unfriendly scrutiny.

if anything, I was hoping that you would punch some holes in some of my arguments. I respect you, I respect your intelligence and I respect that you would have a different approach to situations than I would. My ability to express myself doesn't get any better by talking with people who agree with everything I say.

I apologize that I presented myself and my views poorly such that you interpreted them as an attack. Of anybody here, (other than my Mom, of course), I consider you a brother. I will endeavor to be a little less strident in presenting my views on this thread in the future. I'll leave the manic rants to the political battlefield threads.
