I don't disagree

The tone was somewhat confrontational but mild compared to some of the invective and bitter sarcasm used by certain liberals on this board.

However, I don't think this was Mark's first engagement with Raoul and I assume that he (like me) has had questions, better framed, left unanswered. This creates frustration.

When, if ever, do you press the issue with a voluntary participant and why should we mince words other than to leave out personal insults and profanity? While his reply was blunt, I feel certain there was no intent by Mark to attack Raoul. If Mark's style is too intimidating for Raoul, he should ignore his comments from the get-go instead of answering with a comment that, by your interpretation, is equally as insulting (or non-insulting).

After all these years, shouldn't we understand each other better.
