Debate Concluded

Hi Jim C,

I posted this about an hour and a half ago, but it never appeared, so I
will give this another try.

From one Jim to another ... you were very diplomatic. No offense
taken. I would have been willing to comply with your private email
suggestion. Unlike Tom, I have no overwhelming compulsion to have my
ego on public display, but there is nothing to be gained by continuing
this either publicly or privately. It has become quite the waste of
time. For a change Tom has come to a logical conclusion. Neither of
us will convince the other. An impasse has been reached. I requested
that Tom to accept an agree to diasgree truce so that we could just let
it go and move on, but what I thought was a reasonable solution was
rejected. At this juncture, it is not unreasonable to assume that the
readership has understandably grown weary of this debate. All that was
in need of being said has likely already been said several times over.
Somone has to put an end to this. It may as well be me. This debate
is concluded.

In response to a comment from Mr. Dolan in another thread I will try to
sign
my future posts as follows:

Whatever.


Since everyone else seems to be ignoring this discussion, except for
requests for it to end, there is not longer any point in continuing it.


Some time back, I indicated that Tom and I were at an impasse and
suggested that this debate should be concluded, but note the
significant difference. Whereas I suggested that I was willing to
agree to disagree and end this to spare the readership, Tom suggested
that the debate should be concluded because there is no longer any
point in continuing (AGREED since we were at an impasses as indicated)
and because of a shrinking audience. It is reasonable to assume that I
was correct when I stated that these debates were at least in part
about Tom's cerebral insecurity and his ego.


Mr. McNamara may of course post what he wants since this is an
un-moderated forum, but I (and I expect everyone else also) will ignore
it.


Actually, I suspect that, not everyone, but the majority has been
ignoring the both of us. Well it looks like Tom and I are finally done
and I'm OK with that and I suspect that the readership is too.
