Balrog666, with respect I'm being courteous. I don't agree with a single thing DittoJed2 has said, but she has defended her corner with spirit, which is praiseworthy, no?

True. And very nice. I meant no disrespect to you.

I tried being polite a few times but it's not my nature to suffer fools gladly. She'll either come back or she won't.

This is where I disagree with you. She simply spammed the thread. She didn't dialogue or debate, she didn't read the links provided or didn't understand them, she accepted nothing that Ichy* posted, and she didn't challenge anything in any useful, instructive, or informative way. IMO, for a real dialogue/debate, you must listen to the other side's arguments and address them; dismissing them with a vague handwave wastes everybody's time.

*Ichneumon has some of the most instructive posts around and I am glad to learn from him/her.
