Okay, having had the opportunity to peruse your posts on some subjects about which we agree, I can see now that clearly you're not the bad guy in all our previous, um, "lively debates."
I don't think either of us are built to back down from a challenge, LOL. You also come highly recommended by a mutual friend, Missouri Dave who seems to think at least half of our arguments stem from my hot Irish temper or just pig-headed Alabama stubbornness. Guilty!
Anyway, I've slung some harsh words your way and I would like to officially bury the hatchet. I HAVE learned from our debates (and some less intellectual "discussions" with a few of our fellow members) to stick to my new State Once, Clarify, then Shut Up policy and to perhaps not get so emotionally invested in internet forum debates. Wow ... I ... I think I just grew up! LOL.
Anyway, again, sorry for my temper, well-met, and I do appreciate your well thought out posts. --- CeltKnight
