It is really disappointing to read when posters get personal and level comments on others such as "senile" etc. I think it reflects that you're not winning the debate when it comes down to personal attacks on others such as Skol.

I value having Skol on this thread as I think he does put forward some thought provoking stuff. Largely I don't agree with his point of view but I like to hear the other side of the coin just the same.

If we didn't have a counter point of view here I think it would just turn into one great back slapping thread with nobody to debate the pros and cons with. On that I value having Skol's opinion heard and don't see any reason why he should not be extended the respect and dignity like everyone here.
