I don't know about that Sigmar, for nearly 4 years that I've been visiting this board, about every 6 months or so there crops up a thread about being polite/civil in conversation/discusion. Usually the ones doing the most complaining are the ones that will make declarative statments, then when the other side makes their declarative statement, they get upset and say they are trying to force their opinion or the like on them. When they in fact are doing the same thing. That doesn't show me a high maturity level. The problem is not the "My God is better then yours." It is, I can tell you how I feel/think, but don't tell me how you feel/think. That is not conversing, that is yapp'n. If people want to make declarative statments Fine make them, back them up then leave them be. If somebody wants to find out why, how,& what of a declaritvie statement ask questions, don't make your on declarative statement. That just leads to a circle-jerk. Conversing is a 2 way street.
