I know there would be many here who would be able to have a discussion without going off on someone, but for the few that can't help themselves it would be tough..
Dear hmmmmmm,

I quite agree - but why not at least attempt to cater to the "clear headed" adults instead of giving in to those who can't help themselves before we even get started?

Ever hopeful and optimistically (naively??!!) yours,
