> I don't even think there was a spat or anything else going on here. Just people expressing different opinions. All of them respectable. Words often come across wrong on the computer when you can't hear the person or see them. I think it's also common in our state of mind to take things personally. I think we shouldn't do that. Not here anyway. This is a great forum to exchange ideas and share opinions. Not a place to take anything personally.
James here....
Thanks Jamie, so much. I never flame or insult. I like a good discussion and don't mind a heated debate, but it has to remain on the intellectual level always, and not get personal. I think it is important to be able "to agree not to agree" at some point or the worthwhile discussion and exchange of ideas stops.
Do remember I have ADD. I work hard at being extra polite in person because we ADD people tend to put our foot in our mouth allot. Basically not edit the first thing we come up with in a lighting fast ADD mind; dress it up of public consumption. I am esp careful about written stuff because it can be read so many ways. I so slip up now and then.
Jane (janey girl) I am sorry if I hurt you. I was not my intent. I don't like flaming, and like you, just leave if it gets to angry. I hope you will continue to add your unique voice to this board in the future.
