Is it your position that in order to participate in any thread started by you that an unwavering judgement and posture must be made from the outset and then a duel to the end occur?

Your original post provoked some thought in me, and I began to express it. In my mind, conversations such as this are more exploratory than reactionary or emotional.

If you perfer I stay out of your threads, just say the word, and I will obey. It is not necessary to be so combative and confrontational.
