If someone would rather not answer a question, that's their choice.I didn't mean to pressure him; it just felt like he was avoiding answering the question without being willing to admit that that was what he was doing. If he didn't want to answer it, I would hope that he would have the courtesy to say so.

> Also, please don't post anything that others could take as accusatory.Okay, I was making an assumption there and I am sorry about that. But I think it's not very polite to ignore a question that has been asked. "I'd rather not answer that" being a perfectly acceptable answer, of course.
> Argumentation is fine, but needs to be civil.
I prefer the word "debate." :-)

> I hope you weren't implying that you pitied other people here...I could be wrong, but I felt some condescension in that remark, personally.
