- Well, I guess this makes it obvious you didn't read t.a. at all before
- posting to it.
-
- So does this mean that you will not listen to anyone enraged by your
- opinions, even though they have valid reasons for criticizing your
- beliefs? Are you saying that you won't listen to reason from these
- people even though they may very well lead you to alter your position
- for yourself? If you are, then I must say that's a very close minded
- attitude. If you don't like the personal attcks, then ignore them, and
- get to the meat of what the attackers are saying.
-
- As I have said before, we are dealing with a very persoanl issue, and
- people *will* tend to get extremely emotional. There's no way around it.
-
- On this note, I would like to apologize to Suzanne for replying to
- her articles with a tone of anger. Suzanne and I have opinions and
- values which are quite different, and I find it difficult not to
- get a little hot under the collar when we discuss these differences.
- I can't say that it won't happen again, but I can say I'm sorry for
- being this way.
