- And what "place" might that be? Are you in your 'place'? Am I
- in my 'place'? What if I don't know where my 'place' is? What
- if I should accidently stumble out of it? Is that automatically
- grounds for verbal abuse? Beatings? Insults from amazingly

- Which is a damn shame, IMO, we could use more of his type, but then

- It's unfortunate that you took his disagreement with your views
- as a personal attack, but that is YOUR problem, not rON's. I

-
- I didn't stand up to a "Pig!". I disagreed with a warm,
- sensitive, caring, individualistic, human being. A human being just
- as entitled to his views and beliefs as you are.

- Learn to distinguish disagreement and discussion from personal attack.
