If I ran into a pro Bber or someone I had offended online, I'd welcome the opportunity to sit down and debate my position. If they could tell me, in person, why they are innocent of that wifebeating/ steroid/ gayporn/ etc charge, I'd be happy to retract what I said prevously. Unfortunately, even the clowns who won't swing, will want to put up a 'yell and get a crowd around then ahve to be pulled away by my boys' act.
