My humble opinion is that in too many areas, we have people who are more agenda-driven than issue-driven. No matter what the issue or conversation is, it will eventually morph into their agenda. I try to not fit into that category...but I'm sure that if I do someone will let me know.
I absolutely agree, tstew.
Stephen Hoover and I have disagreed on a couple of issues and he was never condescending, rude or a bully toward me during any part of our conversing. He let me talk and share whatever thoughts I had with no fallback and I feel that I did the same. Kudos to Stephen for a great example. I will include Stew in that category as well - good job, Stew!
That's what I want when I come to a forum and I don't believe we, for the most part, are getting that here.
Also, if I wanted to hear the continued whining () about the UPC I would go to Lois' Spiritual Abuse forum. Sometimes it seems that AFF, perhaps, may be a daughter work. Just sayin'.......

Have we ever disagreed about anything?

Stew,
You and I have never been angry or taken potshots when we have disagreed! Have we? I can't remember...
No, seriously, I enjoy talking to you even when we disagree for that very reason. I don't think the potshots and anger are necessary and without them one might (*gasp*) actually learn something.

So, you are saying that I have never taken potshots at you in a personal way? Just checking....
I reserve the right to reverse once I have a chance to look back at some of the old threads.
Y'all are funny.
