Its really interesting how you only responded to the parts of my email
that you can rationalize. This was the joke email, its predecessor is
the one in which I listed murderers of children and women.  I am
guessing this is a defence mechanism.

Now you may respond with "Peterson was not a zealot". Maybe not a
religious one, but for love of money, his zealotry was obscene.

Again its interesting how you fixate on the part of the subject you
have already rationalized. That of course being the word "poor" from
my earlier statement. I wonder why you didnt think poor meant either;
in bad health, loss of loved ones, or even go to the other word in my
reasoning: unhappiness.

Now I could make assumptions as to what this says about your
character, what with focusing on cash and ignoring all human elements
or emotional ones, but I am trying to clean up my act :-). I will
instead ask that, when debating someone, try and give a little leeway
in reading your opponents statements. Dont look at the "letter of the
law", trying to find one idea that you can use to shred your opponent
to bits, discarding the rest as "nothing you can work with". Rather
try to look at the "spirit of the law" or what I am actually writing
and trying to convey. In order to do this, you must read the _entire_
sentence before coming up with a way to refute it.

Thanks again for the wonderful discourse,
