The Fastest Age

Originally posted by Peter Cruise I just read this entire thread from the beginning in one sitting. I can only say that never have so many people shown so much patience when dealing with someone who plainly is not interested in civil discussion and give-and-take. I have tried to show understanding in previous threads of different cultural backgrounds etc., but I have concluded that Ion is a lost cause. Two thoughts. 1) Ouch, you read this all in one sitting? You must be a distance swimmer!:D 2) There is some patience here. I think the use of this forum helps. Just imagine if this was a face to face conversation! As it stands now, everyone has time "off" from the conversation to cool down. If this was face to face over an hour or so.... just imagine the anger on everyone's face.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: Would we be separating Ion and Geek? Or would we be saving Ion from Connie?:D
