I learn so much... even better I often end up looking up and researching things.. that's GOLD. But I was thinking about the reasons why someone may not want to discuss and debate always in some circumstances.. For the most part I have found people willing and indeed able to discuss and debate things.. at work my colleagues and I very often have several differing opinions and we can discuss that and are able to understand other's perspectives... But it is also true to say that sometimes one just cannot discuss and debate as when one tries, all logic, all facts and relevant information are ignored and what ensues is not a debate but nastiness. So pondering this.. that might be one of the reasons why someone who is generally a lover of debating, may avoid such in some circumstances and on some venues. less

I wrote one months ago to the HM Revenue and customs - I never received a reply, even though one was warranted and needed.. When I called them, they said a letter reply was on it's way.. that was weeks ago.. I wrote a further letter and haven't had a reply.. I really think it's a lost art :P The other letter was to a friend. She and I used to write mammoth letters to each other. Her's would often take me days to read! This was a relatively short one by comparison :P It brought to mind this quote;
“The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.”Omar Khayyam less
