*I'm not talking about an anonymous deputy. I'm talking about someone, visible, that could respond objectively.

> For me it's a good thing when others disagree with me (as long as it's done reasonably) as it let's me see other's perspecitves. Others can have problems with it - for reasons of their own. And that's a good thing, too.*I wish Bobby shared your take on disagreeing. I think it would make for a much healthier climate here.

> It's alien for me to NOT debate back, and I get the feeling that it's alien for you TO debate back. [note 'debate' not 'argue' - to me they are different, and I hate arguing]*I grew up in a household that was filled with arguing, as soon as my parents got up in the morning. I suppose some of that rubbed off on me. I should have taken debate in college. It wasn't offered in my highschool. But I did play on the boy's softball team! :-)

This is sorta like going to war in Iraq without a plan. I feel that this site was hatched the same way. No long term plans. No answers, no discussions with the "voters".
