but equally he has failed to acknowledge our points which is sad
Ah, good point [deleted]. Ooops.
I admit that I've been somewhat busy being on the defensive and in hindsight have arrogantly ignored certain common concerns that the opposing view to mine do see as being legitimate even if I might not totally share with their view.
I'm sure as the discussion continues to move along, all sorts of common ground will reveal itself, but in the spirit of free and unfettered communications I shall endevour to be more mindful and less dismissive from hereon.
I just might need a little reminding on that from time to time though. :)
