Yeah, right, Judy. Like the "discussion over wine" I had with Curtis the other day, the one in which we held completely opposite viewpoints on karma, but in which there was no uptightness or intolerance. Or, at least there wasn't until you tried to barge into the discussion and turn it *into* an argument, calling my opinion "a 'false reading' of what karma as determinism implies. You probably noticed that we both ignored you, because we were having a mutually respectful discussion, and you wanted to turn it into something else. :-) I've had similar on-opposite-sides-of-the- philosophical-fence with many others here. It's *you* who has to turn every disagreement on *matters of opinion* into a head-to-head argument, Judy. It's *you* who is threatened when someone believes something different than you do, and who feels compelled to argue over it, often calling the other party a "coward" or worse when they don't feel like arguing. And it's *you* who usually claims to have "won" those arguments, when you've managed to drag the discussion down to the level of argument- ation, or who even claims to have "won" when the other person just ignores you. And again, I doubt that there are many here who would disagree with this assessment of you.
