In this matter, I fear I'm a bit like Dr. Samuel Johnson. Someone once said that a debate with him was like a duel with pistols; and if his pistol misfired, he would just knock you down with the grip.



I do thank you for taking an interest.
That's a neat explanation, thanks for sharing that. I've always liked a lot of what you say but have been routinely taken aback by how intense and far you're willing to go in a minor argument, lol.
