Same here Fizz, I had figured based off the PM sent to me that he'd come back on different circumstances. The whole thing, to me, just seemed very unecessary and slightly unreasonable as well. There where plenty of justifiable and thought out opinions and statements made as the arguement went on but it seemed that the comments that fired this whole thing off was just another way to cause some good drama. It sort of fuels my theory that humans need some kind of drama/confrontation in their lives just as much as they need oxygen and water. And from what I read Lari, you never came across as an ass or anything like that to me. You're statements, while at times strong and foward, always seemed level headed and reasonable. But that brings me to another reason why I won't let myself join the debate, I too can get amazingly fired up about topics, especially ones I have very strong opinions about and based off the fact that just reading that thread sent tons of statements and opinions to the front of my mind was enough of a warning signal to me to just stay out. I'll be the first to admit that I have patience and temper issues with unreasonable statements and slightly ridiculous arguements. Wouldn't be the first time I've said something rather foolish and un-thought out in the heat of the moment and I don't care to repeat the experience. Plus, the less we feed the fire, the faster it'll eventually die down right? Things happen so fast on these boards. As I said though, I really am sorry that Anthony, and a good majority of you guys as well, had to get dragged into it.
On a happier note, welcome to the new people!

Yeah, you came at a very crazy time but its normally a good kind of crazy around here. Hope to hear more from you in this thread of cheerful insanity!
Oh and Fizz, would you be highly opposed if I perhaps joined you on your cave-bound treck in Mongolia? The sex ed talk we had today in PE that turned into a "So and So's recounts on their sexual experiences" might have been enough to drive me into a life of seclusion and solitude. Like that leapord man in Scottland.
I wanted to get something that an "ex"-junkie like him would really appreciate and cherish....it's a brick of heroin shaped like a heart.
