He owns his right to his opinion and he also owns the right to focus on his naval should he so choose. My question to you is; 'what makes you think you have ownership of directing his focus?' This is not boot camp, it is a discussion board where people have come to talk about what they choose to. And that is the reality of what goes on here.

I am not picking a fight with you, but you can be very condescending sometimes.

You have a lot to say, and others would probably be able to give your views more thought if they could get past the 'talking down to' from you. All the effort one needs to exercise to get past feeling insulted only distracts from your views.

yaaarrrgg happens to be one who works really hard at that with you and everyone else here. We all should be grateful for his efforts to respect and understand our opinions.

yaaarrrgg, you are a very intelligent person and your children are truly fortunate to have such a thoughtful parent.
