    Personal Attacks

    Lynx -

    Civil discourse in debate is welcomed. Personal attacks are not appreciated. (And I have not been thrown out of my foreign residences because I do make sure my papers are in order, I assure you. In those places, you go straight to jail without many questions - so you learn to appreciate a bit of respect for the systems, even if you do not like them.)

    We may disagree over the story and the conclusions, but I welcome the debate - especially where the presented facts are, shall we say, glossed over about certain critical details.
