permaculture

[John Fritz <johnfritz77@yahoo.com>]

I guess I should not have followed suit with the name calling that started 
with the original post in this thread.  I felt the unfounded charges needed 
to be addressed.  I will ceace and desist with this specific tactic in future 
replies.  My apologies.

Is there any particular reason why we cannot have a discussion that 
honors the Permaculture principle of valuing diversity here?

I see nothing in the Permaculture ethic of "Care for the Earth; care 
for the people" that justifies or condones namecalling and personal 
insults.
