Why do you feel the need to adopt such a rude and belligerent attitude? Banno 21:20, Apr 17, 2004 (UTC)

If you make a simple point that I disagree with and you use confounding language and phrasing I have to clarify it before I can dispute it. If you arent intentionally confounding your points to make them difficult to argue, I am sorry; but if you are, you deserve to feel insulted.
