Nevertheless, it was taken that way by myself and others. Or is this your
version of an apology? =:O

Nevertheless, many people do "get away" with some grains. You can call it
all rationalizing, but to dismiss anything which "contradicts" your
particular evangel-diet shows you in a less-than-favorable light at times.

Enough already. What is that supposed to mean???

So everything which contradicts your personal slant (apparently borrowed
from your brother) is either irrational or rationalizing, eh? By my
personal count you are leading in the rationalization department. Not to
mention just plain impolite. Have you any idea how you come across when you
add a "duh?" to such a quip? Do you even care? I suspect you are alienating
the exact folks you are trying to "reach" with such arrogance.

Let us all know when you _do_ regret it--regardless of how so very limited
the rest of us mortals are in our envisioning techniques. Simple tools are
technology whether a chimp uses em or not. You draw the line on technology
where you draw it, but to ignore that your line is as arbitrary as the next
fellows is, again, simply more arrogance.

So you can do battle with vegetarians--whoopdedo. How about you trying
getting along with folks. Respect may not be something you deserve simply
because you follow a paleo-diet.

Now I'm ready to barf. What exactly are you implying by this? That you are
smarter, better, more deserving of respect than anyone you hasn't been "on
the diet" as long or longer than you have. That is pathetic.
Depending on how this all comes out, I may well follow Todd's example in
exiting this list--not very hard since he was the most excellent poster it
had. Listening to the Audette brothers brag about their superior offspring
and whining about respect just ain't enough to hang around for.
