Mark, Gerry has only been accused of obstructionism and the creation of 
straw men. These are the things that waste time and do not strengthen 
arguments except by chance. Attacking ideas is welcome and desirable, 
but only if those ideas actually exist in the first place.

That's hardly a personal attack.
