) I get emotionally involved (pi$$ed off) and when that happens I can't think straight!!
So I tend to avoid putting myself in a situation where this might happen. Hence my reluctance to enter debate. Plus I'm just not that smart!!!!
Some of the stuff I see you guys post on here just goes so far above my head it's not even funny!!

Denny;
Then tell us to tone it down, and convert it to Western English. I mean it.
I understand the emotional level, and that is something that is ever so valid for many members of our ranks. It is hard to not give two hoots when a decision may effect your kids college, your retirement, the ability to have your wife or husband stay at home with the young growing family etc. It is emotional and does effect us to our core. What we do with that emotion is how we succeed. It has to be channeled.
I enjoy your perspective as I do everyone else who attempts to join the debate and present a valid point.
