You and I have had many a debate, and while I may not always agree with your viewpoints, I have respected what you said, as long as you weren't calling me names. I love an intelligent debate. I dispise petty character assasination. It's my right to make that comment.

You're right, Mari, and I actually feel silly now for participating in this thread. I let someone's sheer, unabated meanness get the better of me, and I shouldn't have. I guess an attack like that that came from nowhere from someone I've never even had any contact with before this just threw me. I'll think twice next time. Maybe it's time that this thread should be closed out--it's certainly not contributing anything positive to this forum. Thanks and sorry to have offended anyone.
