Which sort of response is best?
Steve: The "commie fag" one is definitely worst of all. The best one is the "Really? How have I done that?" But what about this: "but I haven't done that. If you think _that_ you must have misunderstood what I was saying." But that just gets followed by "no, dude, that totally IS what you are saying." And then, "how do you know what I am saying better than I do?"...So I guess that wouldn't work, either. Anyway, do you see how you are trying to draw a line between passion and intellect (see also style and content, rhetoric and philosophy) which in another thread you are saying (and we agree) cannot be done?
