subject: Looking for `reasoned discourse`

John Royer says that this newsgroup is unwilling to enter into "reasoned
discourse" because no one agrees with his conclusions.  I challenge him to
set out his idea of "reasoned discourse" and his reasoned grounds for
holding his views.  I promise him that whether I agree with his conclusions
or not, I will not use insults or denigration to counter a well thought-out
argument.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your
right to say it."   but that having been said, I don't have to agree
afterward, any more than to start with.

Well, John?
