Brad...
You speak as if I have no experience, or knowledge of the subject. How short sighted. I have been at this sport for 50 years now, and have rubbed elbows with many very knowledgeable individuals in the sport over the years, and have read volumes on the subject and it's various aspects. I will not bore you with a resume'.
If they are that thin skinned, to jump into something and then let themselves be "...run off..." by simple rebuttal, then so be it. Is it not extremely arrogant of you to step into this exchange and try to defend them, and to tell me to something about myself that you have absolutely no knowledge of? How naive' can one be?
For your edification: Ignorance is excusable; stupidity is not.
I rest my case.
