I have had just about enough! I hope you don't think this string of
profanity, name-calling, misrepresentation, and innaccuracy passes as polite
debate....

Listen, no matter which side of the fence you are on, we can use alot less
of these personal attacks. These posts do nothing to change peoples minds or
enlighten them. All they do is piss them off. Certain individuals seem
incapable of making arguements based on facts or experience so they
resort to this kind of drivel. I suggest that you take this
crap elsewhere.

If you are offended by this response, imagine how Ken must have felt when he
was called "lazy" and a "moron".
