Ok, here's what I don't get. Better to what end? What happens when everyone
comes to that conclusion? Do you get a prize? Does Larry get to no longer
debate? Does the name calling stop? Why is it so phenomenally important that
each of you proves to the rest of the world that the other one is being
totally inappropriate and idiotic? What comes of such an end? Or are you
trying to convince each other of that fact? And even if so, so what? What then?
In the game that is o-t-debate, pride is a hinderance, not a help.
