Why bother? Everything I need to know about who got their buttons pushed and how severely they got pushed is visible in Yahoo's Message View. And I thought I stated quite explicitly that I don't feel I "owe" anyone here anything. Not a response to something they post, and certainly not an argument or an impassioned defense of something I said. What I say is OPINION. What *they* say is OPINION. Neither of these OPINIONS has anything to do with "truth" or anything even remotely like it. I am content with merely stating my opinions and then watching the reactions to them. Some, it would seem, are not. They feel that they are "owed" some kind of argument or debate or discussion about their opinions, as if by offering up one that is contrary to theirs you "have" to become a captive audience to how they got their buttons pushed, or their attempts to push yours in response. Not my idea of discussion, sorry. I just spout opinions, and allow others to do the same. I hold no one on this forum's (and, for that matter, no one on this planet's) opinions to be better than my own. They are on exactly the same equal footing as what they are -- OPINIONS. Those who don't feel that their opinions ARE opinions are welcome to make a big to-do about that and act like drama queens. I shall graciously allow them to do so, while chuckling from behind my tree. :-)
