I’m gonna have to disagree with the negative comments above concerning Igors tone. He made his point with clear respectful language that I would be happy to entertain at work, at the bar, at worship or while on a (previous to covid) group run or golf outing. so, to me, it looks like instead of an ‘agree to disagree’ while respecting each other, you disrespect igor by dismissing his arguments due to his tone, which handily allows you to ignore his content, such as it is. Therefore, in my judgement, you guys are being unfair to Igor while also being disingenuous about your reason for policing his tone.

I chose to assume good intentions, but I offered a different phrasing that would have a higher chance of not being misinterpreted: i.e. using "yes and" instead of "no but": https://www.theheretic.org/2017/yes-and-vs-no-but/ https://www.theheretic.org/2017/yes-and-vs-no-but/
