Dear Renee,

Up to the point that the discussion turned offensive, then I have found them refreshing and delightful in previous threads that I have participated in or read.

After that happened then I stated that it was 'very offensive'. Personal attacks by anyone have no place in a professional atmosphere.

Some people do not like debating, but because I grew up with brothers who did it, I found that sometimes someone will come up with something unexpected and great for all that listened. Something that no one could have imagined or learned without the debate.

The most brilliant people that I have ever been around love to debate. But it's always been with a spirit of civility. I don't like to watch fights of any kind. Debating or other.

However, seeing two very talented artists that offer differing opinions allows the onlookers a great insight to their knowledge and techniques.

Marvin has been quite the gentleman in his replies. That demands so much more respect when one acts as he has.

But, I certainly know that you are right in saying that many people do not like any kind of debate at all.

I understand that and I'm very respectful of your opinion.
