Dear me again. Two pieces of information - not opinions.
Firstly there is an old adage - 'separate the person from the problem'. Very wise. By all means let us debate - deeply - whatever we wish. But without unkind or negative comments or implications about other people. Such comments are very hurtful and trigger others to respond - personally. So what should be an amicable debate becomes personalised. Everyone loses. Suggesting / implying / alluding to the idea that 'Fred is thick' because he / she (could be Frederica) admits that they have not read everything AR wrote is neither reasonable nor kind. And is neither constructive nor helpful. Saying that 'Perhaps Fred would enjoy reading xxxxx' is wholly reasonable.
And perhaps those espousing Acidic and unpleasant posts are unaware of the pH value? pH stands for Potential of Hydrogen. It is a measure of acid / alkaline content. A value of 7 is neutral. A lower value is acidic - a higher value is alkaline. To speak medically for a moment, if you want to know where you are then you could buy a 'pH stix' which will measure your urinary pH value. 7.0 to 7.4 is regarded as healthy. Below 7 is unhealthy and potentially leads to up to 150 degenerative deseases.
Acid = silliness. Not because I said so - but because science says so.
Now can we stop all of this, separate the person from the prblem, and be nice to each other - please? Joe
