Gentlemen can agree to disagree without the personal attacks and

Interesting. Debate and argument is the spice of life. It is necessary
in our gov't, business and homes--just to keep things running!
While often we tend to think it is desirable to live in the world
without difference of opinions and ideas, such a world quickly becomes
dusty, moldy, brittle and unsatisfying.
Probably the most important function(s) colleges teach are all centered
around argument and debate.
Filth and perversion can always be "moderated out" without loss of
relevant info and dialog.
Using moderation to halt debate and argument is just a "Morons Filter."
And, off topic? A bit keeps it interesting ... if faced with too
much--that IS what the killfile is for ...
