Guys....
Please. You are both my friends and I think this misunderstanding has perpetuated itself into a challenge of wits that will not resolve.
This is very simple. I've known MAC for almost a year now...and it takes a considerable amount of understanding him to realize what he really means in his writing. He is perhaps one of the most misunderstood writers on the forum. He doesn't realize it...but I assure you it is the case. He has drawn considerable negative attention before his oppenent suddenly realizes that he never meant any harm. I'm serious...it's like a learning curve.....I've seen no less then 7-9 forum members experience this acquired understanding.
Jason (Buckeye)...MAC doesn't always have a point nor a rational to back-up his position. MAC disagrees, disents and argues because he feels passionately that we must challenge ourselves to face the alternative, to quesiton our reasoning and to stiffen our resolve. He prompts us to defend our position and prove our conclusions. I realize this is where I typically play my punch-line and make a joke...but I'm serious.
He doesn't ever really concede unless it's appallinglly obvious...but I assure you his dissentive nature is not intended to belittle or undermine anyone....it's merely his contributive manner in which he expresses himself.
As a favor to me, I would appreciate if you both stand-down from this arguement...there is nothing to be gained and it is entirely based on misunderstanding.
Furthermore, we are NOT looking for any investors in this magazine project. There is much I can't disclose that if you knew would dramatically change your perspective.
This thread has served its purpose and reached its conclusion. Thank you all for the poll and info!
