I also want to apologize. I should never have taken the thread as seriously and as personaly as I did. I should have known going in that neither side was going to convince the other and that it would have been better to avoid the topic (at least in this format, where it is really hard to elaborate and things come of differently than they do in person). I think on most issues we would probably agree (I am pro-life, pro-military, small government, and consider myself a patriot and lover of my country) On this issue we don't agree. I would rather have you as a countryman than some liberal, mealy-mouthed new-ager who happened to agree with me on evolution.
And for the record, I have been called a lot worse than a jerk and a dumbass; and i've sometimes even deserved it :)
Shake. You said exactly what I think.
I'm glad to see that you two CG fellows have made up.
It's SO easy to take offence when none was intended, or to hear a tone of voice that wasn't implied.
(Now back to our regular programming....)
