"Try *not* calling people -- or what they do -- stupid, and observe the results. You'll find I think that they become noticeably more friendly.'
you had expressed your outrage way before the word "stupid" came into it. I'm just not one to walk on egg shells in these kinds of discussions because someone chooses to become indignant about things.
"Debate the issue, not the man. It's a simple rule and, I find, a fairly effective one (though not completely so, since some people will become irate if you merely disagree with them)."
That is what I did up until the point that you got bent out of shape.
