My pleasure - I was up most of the night fuming over this.

YES! Absolutely!! - in the modern media world, such "name-calling" is essential to getting one's message out - to fail to do that is to lose the argument. In person-to-person interactions name-calling is inappropriate, but the international media is a completely different beast and must be approached with those differences in mind.

I wasn't attacking you personally, either - rather, I was merely engaging your opinions.

Honest vigor in defending one's opinions does not mean that one is being unfriendly - merely vigorous in our dissent.
This forum welcomes debate and yet is much friendlier than any other forum I've ever been a part of.
