Do you think you could ever bring yourself to agree with the people who you have decided you don't like? Talk about closed-minded. Fer chrissakes, don't look at who is writing a post, as an experiment in objectivity, and respond based purely on the content, not on who wrote the damn thing. This drives me CRAZY. You, and others, are so damn predictable.
