We have two options:
Ignore function
Adult interaction
You dont want to see the third option
*Note:If it would help....I will make a Moderated thread just for you two to Duke it out

Tecoyah, I think you misunderstand the dialogue between Host and me. While Host is certainly playing hardball with the facts, I would not go so far as to say that things are "getting personal", as I think Host has been very civil in this thread. If you don't think what is occurring here is "adult interaction", then you and I respectfully disagree over what that term means, as I think the content of this thread has been very reasonable.
I am also fine with the fact that you changed the title. Rather than intending to start a flame war, as you allege, it was meant to reflect the contents of Christopher Hitchens' article. However, your new selected title accomplished the same without being as provocative.
What surprises me is that you had the impression that Host and I were angrily fighting over this issue when, at least from my perspective, we were engaging in heated, but completely civil, discussion. The discussion about creating a thread for Host and I to fight on is a moderator's reaction to hostility that doesn't exist.
