Thank you for your comment RizzyKing. Yes, I agree with your point. You say it so well
I am not a condescending person whatsoever so it is simply misinterpretation of the written word as you say. I am new to forums so I try to be as clear as possible; perhaps to a fault! Please let me have this exclamation mark. I simply care. Let us just accept that techguy and I are both at fault, I feel the same way about some of his comments as he does mine. Obviously, we are both passionate about our cause and that isn't a bad thing. I suggested he calmed down as I don't think a discussion should cause upset or anger and it appeared from the wording in his last couple of posts that it did. It just isn't good for your health. Breathing techniques are wonderful if you feel a little stressed. It was simply a suggestion, again misinterpreted. I hope you conveyed the same message to techguy, it is only fair you do so and we can start afresh.
Please feel free to step in any time as moderator if any of us get out of hand, even though it is unintentional!
PS this debating stuff is hard work, I don't think it will be a full-time hobby for me...
