You find discussion offensive?
You find a person questioning your motives offensive?
You claim that snide remarks have been used? Prove it.
And, the quote button is used to let a poster know what part of his post is being discussed. I find your objections and so called "offense" to simple words specious at best.
What is pathetic is a person who asks for discussion but denies individuals the right to discuss the topic. The constant changing of discussion parameters is getting tiring.

Hi-jacking? Juvenile, baiting, and childish are all words used to
not discuss but to attack certain posters. Where is the discussion in these words?
I thought you'd bring more to the table Peter. Maybe you don't want discussion?
