We possibly disagree on many things because our belief systems though similar, are similar because they are opposite. Where they are not opposite the 'Devils advocate' in both of us takes the extreme view that counters the others points.
Have a good day mate. Take it easy and good health to you.

The feeling is mutual, Yorick. I have the utmost respect for you.
I think part of the "problem" is that we are both very passionate and strong egos, who obviously enjoy debating and have no qualms about playing devil's advocate. This has sometimes created a situation when we were arguing against one another when we didn't have to be.
I have wondered recently if some part of it might be trying to gain respect on some level in each other's eyes regarding our intellegience, thoughtfulness, and passion. I think we both have pursued argument against each other beyond the point of actual real disagreement, possibly ego driven. In any case, if this may in some way be true for you, I want you to know there is no need to try to gain my respect in this regard. You have already done so, many times over.
I am glad to know you, Yorick.
A good day to you too, my friend
