You know, as well as the rest of us, that there is never a fair and 
level playing field. The reason many are put into a defensive posture 
is because the other side never debates in an honest way, and how can 
they, when there is no basis for their arguments (in many cases, but 
not all). We are in a defensive posture because we are attempting to 
defend what we honestly believe to be a safe industry, and a safe 
option. We are not defensive because we try to mislead or twist 
facts.

I can't agree with you. I ask what do you recommend then? What does 
one do to move from a "defensive" posture, as you call it, to a 
"positive" posture, when the attacks you are debating are not based 
on anything that can be construed as logical, honest, factual, 
documented, etc.

Respectfully...
