Check your nit-picker, Jan - the filter need changing. :-)

No one is stomping his feet - evidently, your mind is made up on this 
subject, and it is you who resent the possibility that further discussion
is worthwhile once you have "decided". And you express a concern about
"bullies"?

If you have a problem with disagreement with your views, then it is *you* who
are having a problem fitting into the real world. Get a grip.
