No, you made a sweeping generalisation which I took exception too. Then, when I pulled you up on it, you seem to decide to resort to outrage and bluster instead of reason.

I wasn't defending his beliefs just his right to hold them and requesting that you and the rest accept that.
If you *had* done that, I wouldn't have objected. The fact that you chose to couch it in terms such as " everyone seems to personalise these errr..... discussions (sometimes tirades) down to attacking Russ" was what I objected to, which, you might have realised had you actually bothered to read my response instead of "just giving up reading whatever you have to say because it's too boring to read through your overlong long postings."

If you can't then I can only say you are a hypocrite yourself as you so often argue for us to see both sides equally and fairly.
Were I to have actually done so, then you would have been right to call me a hypocrite, however since that is something I assiduously attempt to avoid doing, I cannot accept the appelation. (Alliteration actually unintentional!)

You are so like erol and just won't accept that you can't change people's minds just by nagging them.
Off hand I can't say I know who erol is and, frankly, I don't care who he or she is because I am *not* erol, I do not speak for him/ her, nor does he/she speak for me.

I write my own posts, based on my own opinions. I do not attempt to "change people's minds just by nagging at them" I attempt to do so by pointing out logical flaws in their arguments or assumptions.

If you can't accept that...

Sometimes you CAN just walk away.
And if anyone doesn't like what I have to say about their postings, then *they* can walk away. But I'm not going to stop posting because of that.

Me,I just gave up reading whatever you have to say because it's too boring to read through your overlong long postings.
I'm sure, then that you haven't bothered to read down this far, but that's not my problem.
