Ian, thank you very much for jumping into this issue. I also feel there
is a lot to be learned and particularly get annoyed by those types who
reject something outright if it does not fit their ideas.
Sort of reminds me of a recent incident where someone with no clue on how
to conduct a mediated (reflector) debate had to revert to childish
personal attacks which are typically the response of the losing party..
