Like I say, it's nothing personal, but it is blatantly obvious that you two
don't see eye-to-eye, don't understand how the other one thinks, and can't

I agree with you 100%. This would be much less mess if Larry just answered
the points I put to him. He throughs insults at me, I ask him questions in

insults, create noise and avoid the point.

(...) "If only...." "Infantile insults"? That sounds like an insult in itself. It sounds like you are trying to avoid any responsibility what-so-ever. -Duane (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) I think you missed James' point - you can't control Larry, you can only control yourself. I need to remind myself of this all the time. :-) Bruce (ooooo, sorry, that was a dig at myself, not Larry!) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
