GULP!  Now this is a *real* challenge which goes to the heart of every
controversy we have had or will have on the list (or anywhere else).  I
doubt that we can ever all agree with each other, but we *could* - given
the willingness to do so, and trying very hard to act on it - agree to
accept each others' differences as (to quote the TI statement) members
of a universal human family, and try to do so without name-calling,
sarcasm or "put-downs."
