They visited each other every day at Harvard and kept a lively and life-long debate going.
I might want to destroy my father-n-law at our weekly chess match, but that doesn't mean I despise him. In fact, such battles are indications of great attachment and love. And if you were half the scholar you claim to be, you'd do a little research and freely admit the widely aknowledged truth of the matter.
