>In my humble opinion, anyone who can't debate without making enemies needs >to examine their thought processes. I suppose that this is true but, I'll tell you, I really hate it when that happens. I used to spend a lot of time debating on alt.atheism and, inevitably, I made a few enemies. These weren't just people I disagreed with, but people whom I loathed, and who loathed me, in turn. [1] I think that it is when you reach that point that debate stops dead in its tracks. -- Andrew Lias [1] For the record, I had a reputation of being one of the more polite debators in the group.

In my case, emnity found its way to me. _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
