Excuse me but...
...my remarks here are rather tame compared to the flames dished my way, particularly from Mr. Ed here who keeps referring to me as "Don Quixote" and then puts words in my mouth. I don't mind debating the issues, but Ed's forte' is handing out personal insults towards anyone with views other than his own. I typically don't direct my posts towards the individuals that post here, but that's virtually all that Ed does and I'm getting sick and tired of it. If he had responded to the content of the editorials I posted links to that would have been just fine. But in both of his posts in this thread all he does is dish up flames and insults. Its noteworthy that you failed to recognize that.
