What's the difference? That's your point, I guess: you think it's okay
to be wrong in order to please people. I disagree. It's one thing to
tolerate, but quite another to compromise -- I refuse to compromise.
Of course, I'm not one to take my toys and run home. I'll keep
plugging away until somebody convinces me of the incorrectness of my
beliefs, or until I convince them of the correctness of mine.
