Harry won't challenge either SWS or Eisboch, Harry knows he would loose.


I don't regard discussion of issues as a "challenge" or something to win or
lose. It's an exchange of views, sometimes heated, whereby your POV may
become modified or made more concrete.

I agree with him and others on many subjects and disagree with him and
others on other things.

I have the same relationship with many people, including myself sometimes.

If you engage in a discussion with the primary purpose of "winning" .... you
lose.

Amen.

My transom doesn't sag.

It's artfully arranged.

Why would I refer to SW or Eisboch as a**holes? They aren't. You are.
Further, they contribute a lot to this forum. You don't.

Harry, I wasn't even thinking of me. You've not called me an asshole for a
long time. In fact, you've been downright amicable, except when I don't
agree with your position, of course. But even then, you've not stooped to
the asshole routine.

Besides, I think my comments about Norway were just as contributory as your
and theirs.
