Dear Brother Gagliardi;
There is nothing wrong with expressing your opinions in the way
you did. There are times when I too, see the logical shotcomings of
arguments that are posted. Just because some people cannot
handle criticism {within reason; I of the notorious pledge dating
flaming... } of their arguments does not mean your criticism is invalid.
Unfortunately, the attitude on APO List is that of 'No debating,
but...'. What irks me is that we ARE debating, but in a manner which
pleases everyone but accomplishes absolutely nothing.
Please remember: Nothing good has ever come from a closed mouth.
