And you have the nerve to call ME rude. Right. Frankly, I prefer the term
"disrespectful", and you have gone to great lengths to earn that disrespect,
through your own disrespect of others (including but hardly limited to
myself).

I used to work with someone like you, Pete. She was a died-in-the-wool
liberal, never wrong, always opinionated and willing to defend any
point to the death, no matter how irrelevant. The point of contention
was always the argument -- never the underlying point, which we both
knew the other would never concede, or even acknowledge.

At the end of a long day of sparring, we would occasionally end up at a
bar, and she would always close the evening with a tongue-in-cheek
imitation of me saying "The only abortion that I would have approved
was when your mother was pregnant with you!"

Well, at least I think it was tongue-in-cheek.... ;-)

I suspect that in-person, that's pretty much the way these threads
would end. Unfortunately, there is no written equivalent to that sort
of live-and-let-live tone, or, if there is, we haven't found it, yet.

You simply have a nasty habit of converting any thread into personal
attacks. It's a bad thing, and you really should take a chill-pill.
