Of course, I would not know the long history and I have no archives to look back on since I just signed up. What I saw as a newcomer is people arguing not discussing. And why were they arguing because they would not listen to the other when he claimed that He did not have an attitude. They are arguing because the other is trying to have them explain their point so that they could understand.
I'm sorry if your feelings are hurt because I did not take your side so to speak. If I have spoken in error I apologize. I, in no way, was out to be a "judge." I will bow out of this conversation since my newcomer input is not welcome. You may continue to agrue if you like. Let me just point out one thing before I leave this conversation. David has not posted since you accused him of being the sainted and that I was one of his devotees.
