Anyone know where to get this phal?

Normally I try to restrain myself in arguements, and sometimes I cool off a bit, but since you have first fired with a direct insult, I think I am entitled to fire back. I have met ignorant people here on this board, but I think you take the cake.

I didn't really care to get into the specifics of all the classifications and characteristics of existing viruses! If it was neccessary, I can guarantee you I would have read up on whatever I needed to understand to ensure I didn't sound like I was talking just for attention. Seriously, I present a correct point and you decide to get hung up on something I said, which happened to be something that wasn't even incorrect? Pathetic. Regardless of what type it is, there will ALWAYS be viruses out there.

The analogy about killing people was meant to be ridiculous. You are wanting to get rid of viruses that exist within the orchid world. This is just as unreasonable as wanting to get rid of all the viruses that affect humans. It won't happen, no matter how much you whine about it, nothing can change. As your ignorance seemed to make you miss this, the main reason I am saying this is impossible is because viruses will never be eliminated. Think about this: every year a new strain of the common flu makes its way throughout North America, sometimes killing many people! The reason? Each year the type of virus changes in such a way that whatever antiviruses we have are useless. The same thing would happen with orchids.

I am getting pretty frustrated with what ignorance can do to a person. I am starting to realize that regardless of how many times people say that viruses will always be there, and we have no choice but to co-exist, you will refuse to realize you are wrong.

And really, amidst a semi-civil discussion you choose to act childish by vaguely insinuating some major error you believe exists in what I wrote? And then you go and directly insulting me by claiming I don't know what I'm talking about? Like I said, I refuse to speak out of ignorance like most people choose to. I wouldn't want to turn out to be something like you.

And the funny thing is that whatever you reply with will be predictable. I find it amusing that whenever there seems to be a debate here that I and others with clear reason enter, most of the people simply choose to ignore the clearly presented and undeniable facts.
