Thanks so much for the support and welcome. I hail from SEC country - S-E-C S-E-C.
I hope to contribute with a varied and different view. I do not intend to insult others who are honest and courteous and intellectualy honest. I welcome honest disagreement because if I change my mind it means I learned something new, and that is ALWAYS a good thing.
I try to expalin my own personal thoughts and conclusions, but rarely try to impose my views on others. For example I am also a vegetarian (how I have not been run out of the south I don't know) but that is a personal decision and I never judge another for their decision or impose I belief on them (unless they are making me dinner, then ofcourse it is about me) If asked, I will explain my rationale, but if not then I wouldn't give it.
Unless you are causing objective harm to another, I rarely feel it's my place to impose my beliefs on others.
Thanks.
PS Still wasn't sure if folks here would be interested or willling to look at the email thread I alluded to earlier. The other party stated they too are interested in an indepedent evaluation because they insist they have addressed my arguements and been intellectually honest, but again the echo chamber of my personal brain can't see it despite re-reading them. Again, if no one is interested I will not mention it again, but thought I would ask as I personally do'nt have other avenues of independent verification.
Thanks so much
