One can always hope.

Hostility toward an ideal should in no way detract from a debate. I am firmly against hostility toward a person though. Everyone should recognize responsibility including me. Including the participants of every discussion here.

It is human nature to answer unfounded statements bluntly and without debate. Yet that closes the door on any future speculation and/or discussion. Assertions tend to sometimes add to a debate though if not followed up or contested by another with a direct refutation it can in the end detract by spawning one sentence denials.

Respect and responsibility by all participants may be too much to ask and yet I would hope that it is not. In the end most of those arguing within this Forum should at the least use thier common sense and understand that just because someone disagrees does not make them a monster or a dullard.

Thanks dgg9.
