I'd have used "bellicose". One of the problems is that people just skip those long discussions, and it does not help if the replies keep repeating points all over. This annoys all people involved including Drew, because he fails to understand why people end up neither countering nor supporting his points. In an ideal world, one makes one's point one time, people form an opinion once everything has been said once, come to a decision and act on it. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum
