    No and I never thought he did.
    Do I think he berates you? No Do I want to make this thread all about you? No
    I jumped in on the lexus/buick comment ....I didn't know it was made because it is what you drive and all the comments be about you which is why I joked around saying we should retitle the thread with your name.

    I have never been offended by anything Arlo has said to me in our many
    discussions. We vigorously argue our views and may sometimes exaggerate
    a bit, but we never intentionally say or imply that the other guy is a
    stupid, bigoted SOB who ought to banned from the site for his outrageous
    views. Nor do we berate one another for lacking a presumed right way to
    think. In sum, I look forward to Arlo's posts. He challenges me to
    formulate my thoughts, something I value highly.
