How is that       > being an adult?              I've been civil to everyone here who has been civil, Chris. Ask Ant, for       example, or badgolferman, if I've ever been anything but respectful with       them.              If you act like an adult, I treat you as an adult.       It's not complicated.              I am here to discuss the technology, the data, and the implications.              If you and Alan Brown choose to keep the conversation at an adult level, I       will meet you there.              If, separately, you want to challenge something I have said, point to the       specific technical claim and open a specific thread on that topic alone.              I will address it directly.       That is the only kind of exchange I am interested in having with you.              In summary, this is your chance, and that from Alan Browne, to uplift this       newsgroup by acting like an adult.              When you act like an adult, people will respond to you as adults do.       Deal?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
