For my part, Jim, I've found the discussion to be on the issues and
conducted reasonably.  Of course we all have our own perspective, and of
course we spend a reasonable amount of time talking around one another or
seeking to understand what the other is saying.  Unlike many such
conversations elsewhere, people haven't resorted to ad hominem or succumbed
to emotional outbursts.  With the possible exception of one respondent I am
very happy with the quality of the discussion I've been involved in.  I
think most everyone has been reasonably open-minded to the discussion.  I
don't expect people to be entirely open-minded in their beliefs.
