Sandi & Tweeters,

As my father would have said about the cat, I think it probably holds
true about impolite people, "It's the nature of the critter. You delude
yourself if you expect them to behave otherwise."

"Intelligent, reasoned debate in a civil tone or arguing a different
point of view, but ... respectful of others, is
welcomed. Belittling, nitpicking, ridiculing, attacking or insulting
another and/or his/her ideas is unacceptable."
Dan Victor -
paraphrased
