the whole point of the OP is to have civilized discourse. Doesn't mean that we all have to agree but it should at least be civilized. I think arguments can be good but if it gets to a point where it devolves into name calling, etc. that's where the real issue is, IMO. And just as you, I'd prefer everyone agree with me too but I know that ain't gonna happen.
