Thank you for your insightful comment, but I rarely stop posting until I'm convinced that I was wrong by arguments presented by others OR I convince the others that I was right.

You're welcome, I'm always at my best when talking to intelligent and wise posters.

So what exactly are you trying to convince me of?

Vaskez and Neb, if you really want to get heavily into personal insults / name calling / flaming etc. PM or e-mail is the way to go.

If, however, you will restrain yourselves and engage in a witty and incisive battle of wits at the end of which you will both respect each others positions and intellect - by all means carry on. I, for one, will watch such a thread with interest

Okay, exactly what I'm trying to convince you of is:

1) That you were a bit too cold and harsh with what you posted in Avatar's farewell thread.

2) That while sugar-coating all your posts just to please everyone is not a good idea, taking care not to be unpleasant to anyone is.

Of course I'm a hypocrite and allowed to do these things even though I'm telling you not to, while if you ever do it in this small discussion you will be heavily criticized for it [img]tongue.gif[/img]

To echo Mouse's excellent advice: Guys, take it to e-mail or IM's. This is not fun watching the two of you in a verbal sparring match.

I think this thread has outlived its usefulness. Suffice it to say, MOST people here think Vaskez is a cool guy, and I think we know who thinks otherwise!

Closing the thread now to avoid further escalation...
