Well, Judy got it right. I was making an insinuation, though not serious about 
it. I did not answer the rhetorical question you posed, or attempt to. There is 
a concept called 'coexistence of opposites', which if it were an experience, 
would take care of the dilemma. You have to ask how serious Barry is about what 
he says. He lobs bombs, with fish hooks attached, onto this forum, and if you 
are kind of like a fish swimming in these waters, do you bite?

Barry's nastiness is more superficial than Judy's; he is not so serious as I 
believe you are imagining. But of course this is my interpretation of what I 
read. The mind does not give us reality, it gives us distorted representations 
of reality, and on occasion, gives us clues as to what reality might be about. 
Are you taking what people say here as true and false? Are you taking what is 
discussed, argued, and metaphorically shouted here as some kind of important 
reality?

For a lesson in coexistence I would recommend the movie 'Life of Pi', how to 
get along in a completely unlivable situation.
