What is civil about responding to someone's post with what amounts to an accusation of bigotry? If she had directly called me a name - then would you have done something about it? The comparison to my views with slave-holding southerners in "Gone With the Wind" is again the cattiest, least profitable remark one can possibly make. Did that make a contribution to this discussion other than to make Peggy feel as if she sits in the morally superior postion and sneers down at the less-enlightened southerner? Usually these discussions are good for thought. Apparently I need some anti-venin cuz I have been snake-bit. You are right personal attacks do not add to the discussion, they shut it down. It could have been enlightening but it just stung - and not from truth - from viciousness.
