Petty and childish behavior...

[Sargent Schutt <sargent@novagate.com>]

Hey, no denying my qualifications and place on that list. But I find a little
humor in it. I think it's a riot, actually. This whole thread has been quite
the debate, and as in any debate there are some petty as well as some salient
points made. Nothing terribly personal, unless you choose to take it that way.
If you do *choose* to get personal, don't be terribly surprised or offended
when it comes back to you.

To my mind, this thread took on a CNN 'Crossfire' flavor from the beginning.
Never seemed to me the 'right' and 'left' would ever agree, but it's amusing
to watch, nonetheless. 

So petty and childish or not, either see the humor in it and treat it as such,
or hit delete. Some points may appear petty - but are they? Depends on you
perspective, and what you're after. Keep that delete key lubed, I guess. We're
all friendly people here, so don't take a debate too personally. A few
sarcastic remarks never hurt. ;). Lowest form of wit? Well, it's still wit,
isn't it? Better than whining, IMO. Try to separate the arguments from your
sense of self-worth. Then perhaps you will see the amusement in it. My .02+.

(What's that -oh "Thank God") :-)
