Is this really neccesary?

I think you misunderstand George. Yes, People are feed up with you, But it's not because you prove them wrong, most grown-ups don't have a problem with being wrong, thats how they can bounce ideas around in forums such as this without it turning nasty.

Rather, it is because of the self-serving concieted way in wich you point out the short comings of other peoples ideas. It upsets people because it's rude and not neccessary. This is supposed to be a free exchange of ideas, not a contest of who is right and who is wrong. In this context you are very wrong.

Refusing to discuss some topics because people disagreed with you in the past only makes you appear small. This is unfortunate, because we all know that you could make a valuable contribution to this board if you would only grow a little.

I think we should all keep in mind that we are all GUESTS here, and sometimes a guest CAN MAKE HIMSELF unwelcome.

Paul.
