<< Hmmmm, I called you reasonable. Is that "Yet one more"?>>

Absolutely! Especially since it's not "an observation, based on factual premises" or an "opinion that can be supported". No one calls ME reasonable and gets away with it <vbg>!!

What I was taking you to task for (so to speak) was not the validity of your points - for the most part you were correct - but to point out that when people feel they have been hit, they tend to hit back. I think the people you were referring to would tell you that they were merely responding in kind to comments made to them for people on the other side, basically the same thing you were doing. As I said, we all do it.

The type of discussion you and I have had should show that, even though we disagree on many issues (and agree on many), they can all be discussed in a civil manner if a discussion is what is really being looked for. That would be another example of your original post regarding what the REAL agenda is. If you want a discussion, great, if you want a fight, you can get that too, but if you really want to change people's minds, you'll probably be disappointed by this thread.
