As far as placing you on ignore I'm not going to do that. I'm not saying that you don't have valid opinions, it is just obvious to me that you are guiding your audience to view things the way you see them or the way you want them to be seen. Variance of opinion is necessary which is why I watch with interest the interaction between you and Rhino. Intelligent human beings can deal with verying opinions, its when the viewpoint is completly biased in one direction that I think a person has to ask why and then make a decision as to what to do about it.

True pumpers never back up their claims with anything in my experience.
And of course there is bias, that goes for everyone, and it will fluctuate depending on emotional state etc.... No one here is completely objective (That especially goes for the ones claiming they are completely objective!).
Personally, I am amazed that Tx has the mental energy to respond to some of the stuff thrown his way sometimes.
