Hey RP. Well I just have to butt in here, I can't speak for huck of course and it is always dangerous to second guess anothers motives or what have you, but I have absolutley no problems with Chuck, I welcome his input and welcome him as a member here, in short I accept him.
It is clear we do have differances in our modes of thought, and that is I consider quite normal. To add a little to your second post though. Yes we are products of our enviroment and our genes, but also we have some control of the chemical electrical soup in our heads. If you reconise a trait in you that you dislike you can via your will effect a change.
