But see 'you guys' are taking an analogy (Goo to you, via the zoo) and making it into a straw-man and then you might even insert it yourself if 'the opponent' does not, while at the same time 'the other side' is supposed to automatically interpret your analogies correctly.

When I don't see those sort of things going 50-50 I guess thats one part that draws out the defensive negativity in my posts. Its more to the dynamics of the threads than any greater arguments-debates.

See from my POV, what the reality is will remain ultimately remain an unknown and beyond man. If I am to be attacked on anything attack me on that.

Now does that mean I try to compete against 'you guys' with pixes and fairies ?? NO!! and why should anyone suggest so, if not but a reflection upon them?

While this post is to you Vade, its not about you per se, but more an overall observation to one piece of the crevo debate dynamics.

Don't worry about it.
No need to get down an dirty with the opponents. Years of experience have shown that to be useless.

You are on the right side of this debate and will be proven right. I have total confidence in that fact.

An analogy IS a strawman if you don't know the real basis of the "analogy" and cannot describe the situation at all without "analogy."
