Carrol's position seems logical and moral to me. I could be missing something, but don't see what could justify the vitriolic response to his remarks. I don't know who wrote 'go fuck yourself, Carrol', at the bottom, but I would call on the moderator to keep the forum civil. As for Michael Dawson: I have read many of your posts and have generally found little of worth in them coupled with an infantile tendency to attack people with whom you disagree. Not good.

Carrol is a walking disaster.
