I seems to me that statements in this thread have been made in the extreme in both directions and the truth lies somewhere in the middle, just as it usually is when any discussion becomes too passionate, or heated and emotions get involved.

I hope cooler heads can prevail and the tension can be lowered here as the negative emotions toward each other only hurt the value of the discussions on these forums and there is already too much arguing and even hatred on too many websites today.

Can't we all (including myself) make more of an effort to discuss differing opinions in a more civilized manner and also make an effort to make this World a better place to live in?
