James E. Faust "The Truth Shall Make You Free"

This is why we have judges in the court system. You can't force people to be reasonable or to changed their own paradigms. Sometimes you just need a judge to tell one side they're right and the other they're wrong (or something in between).

I had a recent situation with another attorney who was flat-out wrong in his interpretation of the law. He could not be convinced otherwise. Even after the judge (correctly)hammered him, he was still not convinced he was wrong, but at least he couldnt' continue with his stupid arguments.

In other words, I don't think SIEQ or TooBlue are going to change each other's opinions, no matter how much they try.

That's why all arguments should involve nothing but mathematics.

This is the role I fill here, and I'm happy to do it.

You're welcome.

You want to know what the funny thing is ... I really wanted to prop up SIEQ's quote and post as relevant and a means by which we can arrive at a more peaceful environment here in this forum. He took it as an attack. Therefore I obviously failed.
