Larry,
It is not a good debate unless someone storms out of the room and slams the
door. In other words we need someone to leave LUGNET for the debate to be
complete. ;-)
Now you can understand why I am not in the thick of it. I do not recall the
mandate of LUGNET being here to solve social problems outside of the world of
LEGO.
I feel this type of emotionally charged debate does not belong on a forum like
LUGNET only because it would take a lot for people's opinions to be swayed. But
not much for feelings to be hurt. Now put us in a place where it is appropriate
and I will get into it just like the next guy.
I cannot believe when it comes down to it, I agree with Larry on something. :-)
Let us all agree to disagree instead of taking one another around the mountain
yet again.
Jude
