The note was in a public thread, I never questioned your inteligence, in fact have discussedthis with you in a manner that presumes an inteligence, a presumption I still hold. Intelligent people can differ reasonably. I've never taken the pledge, never been asked to. Perlowski didn't alter my view, he explained what he in fact did and it helped clarify issues in the discussion, and I found it informative. I also note that you seemed very pleased with his statements as well, at least that is how I interpreted your posts following his.

Stu, I am treating you the same way I would treat any person, but have to say that while I have never drank "the kool aid", I have never been the subject of any attacks.

I am sorry if you feel attacked, and want to assure you that I may differ with you at times, but I have no animosity toward you.

Have a good day.
