It was not intended as a contract. It was just a light-hearted attempt to point out Mr. Cummings' enthousiasm when defending CM and how often he has mentioned he would not respond to CM attacks (note the smileys). He notes often that there is hatred towards CM. I found it ironic that the negative sentiment he claims others have towards the program seems to be the same he demonstrates towards these people, imho. Besides, just as he has the freedom to express his opinions, I have the freedom to express mine, do I not? Besides, how am I limiting or controlling his ideas? I have no such power nor do I want it. I just happen to challange his opinions (something that is done often here). What is good for the goose is good for the gander, is it not? Mr. Corbit, aren't you doing the same, by telling me how you think how I should "take" these things? Not that I take offense, but I find it amusingly ironic considering what you mentioned on your post.
