- This kind of response is what you expect from the dogmatic only, and being
- dogmatic is a simple reason NOT to use logic. Also your response suggest you
- don't like to think too hard about what you're doing, and why you're doing it.
- It must be the power of commercials: "Just Do It!"
-
- Your kind of flame is simply pathetic.
