Alex G, don't even attempt to debate brightness. You'll think you're arguing about point A, the original topic, but brightness will subtly change the focus to his point B, while you're still arguing your "point A". Why? Because he can't debate facts.
So, as you defend your point (A), he slowly or maybe just irritatingly, shifts the topic to his point C. You're left wondering what the hell happened, and he's claiming victory.
He's very, very good at his game, and he's one of the right-wingers that I believe has led this country, and by extension, the world, to the state it's in.
Alex G, I've had brightness on ignore for some time, so I only saw your complete dialog with him while lurking with a friend of mine's computer.
But, now that I'm home, brightness, please, don't reply. I not only won't be able to see what you write, but I don't care what you have to say, since the tone of your (written) voice is as shrill and ridiculous to me as a room full of small yappy dogs.
