Joe - I don' t think my response to Penderite was in any way an attack. In fact I was supporting his right to believe however he does and his right to defend his beliefs.

My point was that he and I want the same thing though we differ on the means, which does not make him wrong or me wrong.

I respect Penderite's optimism and if my response in anyway seems to be an attack then I deeply appologize as that is the opposite of what I intended.
