There are other differences between us, Bruce.
For instance, when someone disagrees with you, you seem more inclined to get increasingly pissy and sarcastic.
And when people get pissy and sarcastic with me, I try to stay calm, stay rational, and try to see the humour in the situation. Which might sometimes mean you get laughed at a bit.
Sorry. :-)

Steve,The difference between you and I is that I will stay on here and take on the multiple voices of dissenting opinion without every post of mine containing some condescending comment. I can get testy after some of the comments, which on occasion have been personal. I know I have engaged in it too, but in response. You on the other hand take great pleasure in a smarmy sniping at Americans, until someone equally as snarky responds. In that case you block their e-mails.If you don't like that type of dialog, then stop introducing it in your posts and play nice.BruceFrom: Steve Hendry <rsh.dds.fagd@gmail.com>

Thank you, Bruce!I also know and appreciate that many Americans are not naturally testy and sarcastic, and don't get abusive when their beliefs are discussed. I love those guys!BTW Alistair Cooke was an English American, but I'd love to be the next Rick Mercer.Boy, do you know Americans. What an astute observer of our country you are. Most foreigners think Americans are defined by the NRA. But you know we are more than that. We are also Walmart. You should be the next Alistair Cooke.BruceFrom: Steve Hendry <rsh.dds.fagd@gmail.com>
