I don't think anyone intended this to be a Pro This or Anti That type of meeting. In fact, it would probably be great if the subject never came up. Opposing attorneys and other such factions meet all the time outside work. It soothes the spirits, mends the soul.

As for Ed? OK, so we differ in our methods and opinions on some things. But he's obvious a smart and articulate guy, so why not get together with him and others and see how things go? I haven't been in any business yet that permits me to work with only those I choose, or only those that agree with me. That's life, pure and simple. This is precisely why I wanted a safety, or just a boating thread to thrive. You'll never get a group of people to agree on everything, so why not start with discussions on things most do agree with?

Try it, you may like it.

I agree 100%.
