   Laura, none of the discussions I participate in on this   
   or any other group are really that serious to me. I   
   regard this as a fun intellectual exercise, nothing   
   more. I may come to think of a person's debating style   
   in a good or bad light as a result of their actions here,   
   but ultimately anynody person who approaches this group   
   to express honest opinions earns my respect as a person,   
   no matter what those opinions are.

   Good luck with your rebuild.
