Some of the time, but not all of the time. And I'd say, beyond a certain point,
the majority won't care who is at fault - because its been beaten down so much.
(Right now, I don't care who is at fault - I'm just sick of hearing about it. I
still want to be able to read other topics in debate without being bothered by
it though. I won't block either of you on a newsreader because I like posts you
both make outside of nitpicking each other, and my newsreader (OE) threads
poorly when a blocked person participated in a thread)

This makes sense.

I won't answer that question, because I don't want to get into who is right or
who is more mature ;-) I understand your point, though.
Ever *not* scratch an itch, and instead of staying there or it getting worse, it
goes away? That's what I suggest doing.

I won't expect him to realize it any more than I expect you to realize that
you're doing no good by continuing to scratch the itch.

That's ok. I just hope you realize that some of us are sick of it and don't
care what the difference is, or who is right. We just don't want to hear it
anymore.
