You selected a side in an argument that had nothing >to do with you. If you took it that way, I apologize. That was not my intent. The point I was trying to make is that people should at least try to make their insults entertaining for the rest of the readers. The lurkers are the ones that both sides have a chance to convince. You can't convince them if they get bored and quit reading. IIRC I made this point somewhere in the first week of this thread. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

Ignoring the fact that Welsh coal and steel built most of the British Empire, of course.

It would be healthier if he decided to assume it for a while and see where the thinking leads him. He can then make the choice about believing it for logical reasons. Taking such things on as a matter of faith is not healthy. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
