So let me get this straight. If someone posts something that you agree
with they are wonderful and if you don't agree with what someone writes
you declare that "Indeed, but surely you are not surprised with this
individual?"

How open minded of you, I guess I can only aspire to be a member of the
elite who think like you because in your world nothing else is
acceptable. How dare we have concepts like free speech or differing
opinions in a discussion group, oh the horror of it all for you having
to breathe the same air as me...

He made a comment and I made a polite comment offering my opinion. As
far as I know that is what free speech and discussion groups are all about.
