I guess I see this in a different light. As an attorney, the other side always feels they are right, and I am wrong. Every case there is someone telling me my side is wrong, and I never take offense at that, just wait to hear what the decision is. When someone attacks me, (and it often happens), I just listen, laugh, and move on. Maybe we need some more of that. I hate it when someone gets offended by anyone. But, remember, no one can upset you with words, unless you let them. You cannot change a belief, you cannot argue against a certainty, and you cannot change a closed mind. Today I learned something new. There is an apple that tastes like a grape. I told Jerry Guzman they must have split genes or spliced them. He laughed at me and told me there are no good Jewish farmers. It is his opinion it is just an apple that takes like a grape, not a new type of apple. I bitch slapped him upside his head. Now, that is how to handle a discussion.
