Mr. Ashworth,

I guess next time I'll just bow down, and be grateful you have seen
fit to grace us with your brilliant, albeit misguided and sarcastic
efforts.

Despite my constant attempts to keep this discussion on a rational and
non-personal level you have seen fit to instead turn this into a
grievance of some sort. If at some point this appeared to you to be a
personal attack I apologize, for such was not my intent.

I will not apologize though, for trying to point out potential issues
and assist the community in making a sound decision.

Your level of sarcasm, vitriol and insult really is beneath
professionalism. I sincerely hope this situation finds a resolution.
In the spirit of such I have done nothing but attempt to provide
productive input in a professional manner. My most recent post, which
was not addressed to you,  was designed to present a more rational and
congenial tone to this discussion. I now see you are incapable of such
a discourse. I however, will not stoop to that level.

I suggest you go back and read Mr Lonie's response to my arguments. He
was rational, dispassionate and polite. Although we disagree, there
was no malice in our interactions. Such is the model for these types
of debates. Let's try to follow it.

Also, I don't recall giving you permission to call me by my first
name. In polite company such a thing is considered extremely rude.

Now I am sure you will have a reposte for my having taken issue with
you. You seem to have a penchant for needing the last word. Remember
that the last word is not always the best word. My prediction though,
is that you will find the urge to have it irresistible.
