Re: It isn't the motive I question, it is the effect

I disagree.  Please don't lump me in with others who you feel have engaged in personal attacks.  I have not personally attacked you nor have I even questioned your motivations here, but rather have disagreed with the content of some of your messages and voiced concerns over what the effect of some messages may be.

While I don't need others to take up for me, as my friend Spud pointed out, I must say that Mira did quite a nice job of rebuttal and so I won't repeat the good points she made. Instead, I will simply close by saying: I am not your enemy and have no desire to attack you personally.  Friends can disagree you know.  Hopefully they can do so with some degree of civility.
