Perhaps you don't understand. When a sentence starts off with "how" and ends with a "?", it is called a "question". When you go from my question to your evaluation of "speed", that is called "streaching it". }>}How dare anyone put someone down because they think they }>}don't run fast enough!

You harp on things (speed, fast enough...,) that I never even mentioned. } } Hey you gave your opinion, why is it such a big deal that I gave mine }in rebuttal? Because I was adamant? I was not yelling at your voicing }your opinion but in what you said (and others like you). }It appears, however, that you feel that one can voice their ideas, }but only if it's done quietly. That's ridiculous. Rah rah rah. I am amused by your belief that "How...?" is "voicing an opinion". I suspect political, rather than grammatical or athletic, positions are more relevant to your statements.
