In Response To: Re: Jason, how is the USAPL going to clean up (Garry Holmen)

Garry,
Very wise words. And have they also been directed to the other parties? I will never stop offering any praise as due as well as corrective criticism as due also.(By the way criticism of the USAPL does NOT mean I am anti-USAPL as others have claimed) If someone disagrees with my assessment than civil debate is welcome. During civil debate with you in the past I have been open to modify some of my views based on the strength and insight you have presented in our debates. I may be opinionated at times but I am not rigid. I am open for change but I will not be easily turned depending on the direction the wind way be blowing at the time. I have valued good debates with you and am thankful for them. However if my integrity is questioned, or if negative personal comments are directed at me instead of focusing on the issues, then I will consider my alternatives: To ignore ignorance or to confront back. Hopefully I will have the wisdom to choose when one is more correct than the other in each individual situation. But I don't suffer fools lightly. By the way evil is on a continuum from the more sever to the relatively minor. Even if it may be relative minor to you, to deny a person to express their views by ignoring the issues and attacking the person is evil. Brave people in the past and present have sacrificed their lives to protect that right, even at the most minor levels. The sinking of a boat often starts with one drop of water from a little leak ignored.

As always I welcome good debate from you if so desired. LOL Take care my friend!
