Pro,

I find myself agreeing with you in a lot of instances, but here I cannot. I think all of this is much ado about nothing. That's why I haven't responded to it very much. I also think however, that the personal attacks against you were pretty unfair.

OT posts are gonna happen on a forum like this. So what ? Cliche` as it is, life really is too damned short to fret over such frivolous things.

I spent the first 40 years of my life not understanding this too well since I was always healthy. The last couple years have been physically challenging for me, and really challenging as of late, to the point that, I don't honestly know what life holds for me in the future. That's when you find out if you didn't already know it.... this stuff just isn't that important.... Not important enough to fight over anyway. Hopefully others don't have to find it out this way..

It's easy.. I just scroll over the stuff that doesn't interest me... ( there's plenty of it ). Even in my condition, this isn't too physically demanding.

In spite of all the controversy, this forum still has the least amount of flaming and controversy of any forum that I've ever participated on. I think Nigel deserves all the credit in the world for that btw.

You guys can argue this forever. Everyone has to be "right", and sometimes we have a hard time accepting that maybe life on a forum ( as everywhere else )has to be about a little tolerance and maybe even compromise. Me, I'll just scroll over it and read something more interesting. I just hope that the good relationships that have been forged here, some over many years, aren't too strained after all of this.
