I can’t help but notice that so far the only people who have said anything regarding this have been women. The fact is, this is sometimes how men resolve problems. I’m not trying to be sexist, it’s simply a fact that men and women deal with things differently.

Moreover, I don’t think anything I’ve said in reply to someone has been remotely flawed in my reasoning and logic and if it has, anyone here is free to point it out. So far only one of my comments has been caught not directly nailing down an idea and that’s the only one someone could and has taken issue with.

I admit I have a slightly acidic tone but considering I’m dealing with unjustified personal attacks I don’t think it’s entirely unreasonable or unexpected.

It’s my personality to defend my ideas and opinions and the reason is two fold. One is for the obvious defense of what I hold to be right, the other is to put my ideas out there and see how well they stand up. After all, I am not the cornerstone of all knowledge even though I sometime may present ideas in such a way by virtue of the fact that I’m fairly confident with them (or have a big ego, I’m not sure which).

I was quite happy to let this die but three “now settle down boys” posts is a little much for me to let be.

I'll deal with the actual topic of this thread tomorrow (or when it's not 2AM), now that I've gotten that off my chest.
