Also I hate how arguing makes me feel. My blood pressure jacks up and I get knots in my stomach. I'm naturally an agreeable person not a disagreeable one who enjoys argument. But I argue anyways out of a sense of duty.
Discussion
I'm sorry your blood pressure spikes. Perhaps your first choice was the right one, and you should avoid discussions like this. For my part, I enjoy the repartee' and exchange so I walk away happy; and I figure everyone else does too. If you don't, then taking care of yourself comes first. You have no duty to engage with me if it's harmful to your health and happiness. You and I are not going to solve the Isreal/Palistine issue here.
I leave it to you. I will not respond to your previous post on Hama's claims unless you'd like me to. But that's a one time offer.
If, in the future, you respond to one of my posts, you can be very sure that I will respond in kind.

I appreciate the concern. But not responding isn't an offer I wish to accept. If you have anything to say I'm always grateful to hear it. I just posted to another one of your posts this same point but it bears repeating. Never presume I wish for your silence. Your posts do not spike my blood pressure, but sometime my responses do, especially if I post too rapidly and then regret what I said. I am trying to learn not to respond too quickly.
