Well, of course I disdain the _point of view_, and I have "made up my
mind" in the sense that I have strong opinions on the subject. That's
no reflection on anyone personally, and certainly no indication that
I'm not listening to input; I just haven't heard any I buy yet. Are
persons involved in a debate not allowed to have tentative conclusions?
Are we not allowed to advocate a position? What's the point of debate
if we must wallow in "fairness" and "balance" forever and never reach
a result?

If you have opinions on the matter, why do you care whether or not I
listen to them? This list is a public forum, not a conversation of
just two people. Even if you think I'm not listening, others are.
Speak up.
