Howard, it's not your fault. Despite the way my posts yesterday may have seemed, I have no problem with you. I don't really like daniel78's posts and unsurprisingly he doesn't really like mine, it seems. I somehow doubt either of us is losing sleep over these revelations.

I've decided not to continue that thread because I feel I was overreacting yesterday and I think I probably poisoned the well for discussion by calling you a racist, which is a pretty low blow if I'm going to try and maintain an intellectual discussion. I'll let you have the last word over there -- what you said about enjoying sparring with me and free speech is precisely what I feel.

I think there is merit to the discussion we were having but it is best saved for another time when the atmosphere is less charged.
