Again, welcome and fruitful debating. Purple

    Argue Position not the Person
    Rob,
    Per the guidelines: Always treat other members with respect. Argue the position, not the person. Avoid abusive, harassing and invasive behavior. Avoid needling, hectoring and goading tactics.
    Your style is invasive and disprespectful, please stop.
    As the Encyclopedia Brittanica states on debate: Usually, in a well-conducted debate, speakers are either emotionally uncommitted or can preserve sufficient detachment to maintain a coolly academic approach.
    General note to participants: Please respond to arguments that actually pertain to the topic.
    Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
    Any response in this thread will receive a 24 hour timeout.
    Thank you Purple
