Where is there "FUD"?

(maybe you are waiting for Lynn to clear this up?)

...

Anyway....I agree Bagger. This is important. (for everyone)

What's "right" is (somewhat) subjective. (obviously)

In the end all anyone (from either side of the argument) can do is present info.

I actually do like debate
(definitely)...it gets things done (and needs to be done)....

My comments just came from how I'm just am getting a bad feeling about this getting negative.

Although that's often bound to happen if both sides want to be correct, right? (which is very important- to believe in what you think is right, that is) So there's nothing anyone can do....even if it gets heated.

Both sides (seem to) believe strongly in what they're doing....

....Lynn from his dealings with Homer and interpretations of the book, as well as some teaching experience.

....and Brian from his teaching experience as well as, apparently, his own observations of the tour.

The rest of us have made up our mind (hopefully) from taking this all in....+ individual experience. (in whatever)

I get the feeling this has to be one of those "agree to disagree" things....

I'm not gonna lie....I'm partial to the "base of neck"....but that's my perogative. And I'd hope I'd be able to suppport it. (civily)....(but then again- this is Lynn's site and he can teach what he wants)
