Sadly, it sure looks that way.� I see a lot of people talking (or
shouting) past each other, a lot of counterproductive stubbornness and
hypocrisy too ("I don't care what others think but I expect them to care
about what I think").
I was really hoping at this point we'd be past that polarity and
childishness.� Maybe we just need more time?� Or will there always be two
distinct camps in this "community"?�Tories and Whigs?� Democrats and
Republicans?� Emailers and Forumers?
