So sorry to hear that Judy, what a jerk. It is good to have a place to vent to people who care. Vent away we all need to at times.

::offers Hug:: yeah I love a good debate as much as I despise personal attacks. Especially because I enjoy playing devils advocate I find myself in those types of situations relatively often.... also the fact that my best friend and roomate is right of center and I am a bit left of center on the political spectrum instigates some debate - thankfully we understand the difference between a dialogue and personal attack. After all was it Plato or Aristotle..... well some good old philosopher felt that truth could only be derived from debate or dialectic. That's actually where we get our court stuff from! Personal attack IMO invalidates/ends any potentially interesting debate anyway. You walked away the better person.

Wow, sounds like a real JERK! Why can't some people just agree to disagree? I hope he leaves you alone.

I hope so, too, Gen. I haven't decided if I should try to defend myself via e-mail or not. If I don't...then he'll probably leave me alone, thinking he's left me with my tail between my legs. If I do, then he'll probably continue to bother me. I guess I really shouldn't care WHAT he thinks of me, huh?
You're very right, Godfather. And I wasn't trying to "win" anything...just get some questions answered and maybe spark some people to ask a few questions of their own. But these guys did insist on "winning"...at any cost, apparently.

Maybe just shoot him one final e-mail basically stating well - I guess we will just have to agree to disagree. Then just ignore it until it passes that way you've gotten to state something and end the agrument while showing that you aren't with you tail between your legs, just as unconvinced as he is. Yeah you definately don't need to worry what he thinks of you - we all know you're great! If others fail to pick up on that then hey - their loss. :)

LOL! I love that ending hahahah. Also all of you should see Mallrats - be forewarned that there is some strong language some sexual content and a bit of nudity but I swear Kevin Smith writes some of the best dialogue - it's simply hilarious.
