Sorry, but I disagree that debates such as the one between Christian and
Thomas should be privatized. Perhaps their arguments got a bit heated and
personal, but I for one found their debate to be quite lively. It also
seemed that they both managed quite well to reinitate civil discourse
when it appeared to break down. If people are not going to be allowed to
argue passionately here, then this list is no longer worth my time and I
will, with sorrow, unsubscribe.
