Reply #240: It Is Always Wise, Mr. Joe

To avoid attempting to deal with complications one does not feel up to coping with. Just about everything in this forum has been discussed repeatedly for years, and so the mere fact that something may have been mentioned a few monts ago harly constitutes a bar.

The point remains, however. Those who take such peculiar views of this matter do not do so as a result of dispassionate examination of evidence, but rather adopt it as a result of some predisposition. Enquiry into the basis for these predispositions is not only legitimate but necessary.
