I will discuss the issues with any civil person. In my book anyone who stoops to name calling and/or profanity has lost the debate.

I carried on a conversation with a very polite anti for nearly a month once. His arguements were well thought out and researched. Unfortunately, it was a classic case of one sided prejudiced research. He even threw out a paper I provided him from the university of Wyoming because the professor was an angler (therefore his published research must be wrong).

Eventually he broke off the debate because he said it was obvious neither was going to change our minds and he needed to move on.

There is no one so blind as one who will not see.

I'm proud of you PBD. Stick to your guns. In the future though, take the highest road, use published research and real numbers and facts to back up your position. When they stoop to profanity and names you win. It's a poor debator who is out of data and out of ideas and has no better way to express themselves than to scream more loudly and stomp their feet.
