Sometimes a good technique to prevent a big fire is to cut out the stuff 
that is not adding anything to the heart of the discussion. Even if you do 
not agree with some of the surrounding statements, you do not have to 
answer each statement/each paragraph to prove your point.

You may have noticed I cut a whole part of your mail out just to make the 
mail friendly again. I don't want to reply to blame/reblame because that 
is exactly what leads to reaction. Just answer the nice parts, and people 
think you are nice too.

Right ? You think I'm nice, don't you ? :)
