KrilliC,

Just opeining a door to get us all out of the group! There's not point in
clogging up the works with "mindless botting" as our troubled friend would put
it.

Actually Rod and I have agreed on several points in the past. But on others not.
It's the 'nots' that are the problem, and the way his arguments (for want of a
more accurate term) are put that irritates the hell out of me and many, many,
many people. This iritation with Rod has led to the establishment of .web pages
dedicated to him and his unique style of debate. He's even won the "Net.Kook of
the Year" award - these aren't my sites - they're run by people who have been
driven SO mad by him they felt this was the only way to get their own back!

As for Josh, if you actually look at the Josh/Rod interactions you'll find they
are almost ALL initiated by Rod. Josh makes a comment and Rod jumps down his
throat.

There is a very old saying which I've always kept in mind - partly becasue of my
origins. It runs:

"The British are a tolerant race but vicious when provoked".

I've had a LOT of provocation, turned the other cheek MANY times and got that
slapped as well. This is just a means of getting us all out of the groups. No
'flame' intended - as such. I know you mean well, but until he's had REAL go at
you you won't understand fully why otherwise reasonable people find it necessary
to behave like we do.  By the way - Rod CAN'T 'calm down'. When I said he's
physocally incapable of leting someone else get the last word I meant it. Have
you followed any of his threads? If you do you'll see what I mean.

Trust me - would I lie to you???   :))
