Mike,
You are missing the point. The point is, despite many fine
things you often have to say I find it very objectionable that
you take potshots at me over your view of some opinions of mine
you believe are highly objectionable and apprently believe so
taint much else I have to say that you feel it necessary to cast
aspersions at the drop of a hat. This is unacceptable.
Apparently we both have enough respect for at least some of what
the other has to say to continue to read each other's messages
so it isn't a complete wash. I am asking that you stop
lambasting me. Will you do that or not? No argument about who
is right or wrong about this or that addresses that fundamental
question.

Very questionable but utterly beside the primary point so I
won't get into it at this time.
