[Mithadan]

Once again, people, the subject of this thread is not Eve or her personal philosophies or preferences. Anyone inclined to respond to this or any other thread by criticizing another poster should not do so. This subject is one I have seen discussed many times before, often with similar responses. Because it has come up so often, I view this as a valid topic for discussion even if I do not agree with Eve's position (that's what discussion and debate is all about, isn't it? asserting your arguments and trying to persuade others to adopt your position). Let's not allow this to degenerate please. Good old fashioned rule of thumb - if you can't say something in a nice way, don't say anything.
