Is there actually any

I agree. After a long, informative, and civilized thread this one went over
the edge from evidence, reason, and substance and into personal attack
through sarcasm. David, can you recognize this line?


Maybe David's post got cut off in my mailbox, but I find nothing offensive or in the nature of a personal attack. I read that statement as an indication of his point of view -- that maybe Johannes really did have a clearer view.

I know that there are times when I read legal decisions made in US courts that I feel they are totally erroneous and a misreading of the law and that I have a more accurate view of how things should have been decided.

I had read David's long and calmly reasoned thread as if he felt the UK judges were in error in their decision.

I felt he was supporting Johannes' points, that Johannes had made statements that showed to David that he (Johannes) had a clearer view of how the law should have been interpreted.

I didn't read anything sarcastic into David's statement, since he had already made it clear that he disagreed with the UK judges' decisions.
