I admit I have often been baited.
Of course I have never, ever instigated anything.
I will be reviled for this, but Stephen, there is a large number of posters on this forum I do not, and would never, consider my "brothers or sisters."
However, there are others I disagree with in a big way, yet we are great friends. We are friends because we do not insult each other personally. We simply agree to disagree.
