Yes, I guess I'm guilty of getting dragged too far away because of my disagreements with mr petersen.

Walter,

You get "dragged" into a place by your own actions - not "because" you disagree with me. There are people who disagree with me that I have had calm/rational discussions with. You should probably go back and review a few things. First, what is the nature of your disagreement? Second, based on that disagreement, looking at things objectively, is that disagreement based on what I have actually said?
