<><><><><><><><> With all the people out there flaming away at Milo I just wanted to give him my support. His attempts to educate the net have not been totally lost on deaf terminals. Recently I have noticed that most of you guys out there flaming at Milo are flaming at him simply because YOU DON'T LIKE HIM. Milo writes an article and presents the facts as he sees them, lists his sources and asks for a response that has also been reasonably thought out. He has yet to get such a response! Your replies can be summed up like this... "don't bother me with facts when I am trying to win this argument on emotional appeal." Face it guys, you simply do not like his opinion. This on going discussion will go on for quite some time and I do not think that either side will change their opinions much. Everybody should realize that two people can listen to the same information and come to two completely different conclusions for two completely different reasons. It is all a matter of how you were brought up, where you went to school, who your friends were, ect.... So come on people, Milo has some important and reasonable things to say. Even if you don't agree with him at least it gives you something to think about and new areas to research. If you want to flame someone who is off the wall why don't you write an article or two about Ron Rizzo. Tom Hill

I have seen this happening quite a bit, along with another interesting tactic: if you leap to the defense of people like Milo you are labeled with the same nasty labels they would apply to him EVEN IF YOU HAVEN'T EXPRESSED AGREEMENT but merely defended his right to speak here and be answered reasonably.
