Peter, you're usually level headed, but good grief guy !! How can you
defend that?? Why in the world should anyone be moved to hatred because
of someone's refusal to believe all the answers? I mean, even a kid
would know that's wrong. It's sure as heck not Eagle Scout behavior.

You might spurn him, not answer him, or continue to try to reach him,
but to spew hatred? [...]

You are overreacting, and frankly you are inferring way more from my post
than you have any right to.

I used the phrase "to hatred" because that is in fact the phrase that was
used in the post to which I replied. Nowhere in my post did I say such a
response was justified, but inasmuch as anyone here *is* aroused to hatred,
it IS because of the way the guy responds to the answers, and it is NOT
because the people so moved feel guilty about not knowing the answers
themselves.

My post was in response to Michael's claim that the only reason Mxsmanic
gets a negative response is the nature of the questions. That is patently
false -- the response is largely *directly* due to the behavior of Mxsmanic
himself -- and that's what I said. Any other message you get from my post,
that's your own doing and has nothing to do with what I think or feel.

Pete
