An excellent example of a fanatic at work. "I give now quarter because I am 
Right. No other point of view has any validity, is is JUST PLAIN WRONG."


I could do that too, but I prefer to discuss the matter. Sometimes, I am 
wrong. Oftentimes, there is merit in my opponents point of view. He might be 
wrong, but I can't tell that before listening and understanding what he has 
to say. Then, perhaps we can discuss it further and maybe come to an 
agreement: if not, then we can part on good terms, each understanding the 
other.

Fanatical ranting with never persuade anyone with the ability to think, to 
question.
