- I am usually very friendly, but I just can't understand people who rush off
- to flame others, completely inconsiderately. And second, what Doe seems to
- have warped badly, is that I have no statements or thesis or premises made
- whatsoever, the post was asking for opinions and what other people could glean
- from their resources. Let's say, as a comparison, that someone asks you what
- if we take this route home instead of the usual one, it is shorter, I believe.
- What kind of psycho goes saying "Give me substatial proof that that route is
- shorter"? Most people would think for themselves and then agree or disagree.
-
- As for the Journal citations, if I had a study on exactly this statement and
- area, would I ask about it on the net? In this manner, I mean. I gave one
- journal that could give some way to the subject, but I doubt Doe will do
- anything with it.
