i didn't think you ignored him as i stated, more it was an attempt to get you to acknowledge the post which was a really good attempt to engage you in a civil discourse. you stated a position that was thoughtfully challenged. i saw an opportunity for a the basis of a good discussion to be had and played a little reverse psychology in means of goading you into developing that conversation.
reading through all the balanced responses to your posts,with regard, i believe i was not alone in my assessment. i can really add nothing to what has been said as it all has been said rather well to this point other than, you may find great benefit from the honest discussion to be had here. just wear your big girl panties is all i will say (and that is not derogatory).
