BEE-L rules are that all is fair when taking on ideas, but getting
personal is discouraged.  For that reason, attribution lines and
personal comments are discouraged.  That notwithstanding, various
writers take considerable licence.  Boys will be boys, and girls will
be girls.

Please address the issues and forget about personalities where possible.

As far as trying nail anyone with his or her own words is concerned, in
this day and age, that is a waste of everyone's time.  The known facts
are changing faster than most of us are able to keep up, and we are
obliged to change our thinking and abandon cherished notions daily, or
be hopelessly out of the stream.

Let's not confuse the issues with the people who may or may not hold
any specific opinion today or last week.

Let's discuss the issues, and just the issues.
