I personally don't think name calling is appropriate, thats usually the result of a 'holier then thou' attitude, and only encourages unneeded confrontations on an other wise peaceful thread. I will apologize to albania, his post wasn't disrespectful, he just got caught in the middle.

It is important
(in my opinion) to understand that while some people feel the pull of eclectic, or "new age" thoughts, others will never try to consider it. In the case of Ustwo, he is adamantly opposed to accepting anything outside his frame of reference in my experience, and though he can be gruff at times has much to share in the opposing spectrum. I doubt he was intentionally trying to be cruel, or disrespectful....it simply the way he communicates in this medium. Just wear the heavy leather coat while reading his replies, very few have a thick enough skin.
