Communist ideology! Ok I get it - disagree with Rafal - you ARE a commie. 
PLUS - You HAVE disagreed - ergo...

Absolutely! Stick to your guns there Rafal... One crucial decision in 30 
years is more than enough, a man can't be changing his mind every 5 
minutes... Umm... 30 years... Can he?

Ouch!
My belief system failed Rafal's Turing test...

Thank you (I won't say for your patronage). I'm a wiser, chastened, and more 
enlightened proto-commie than before. And I'll try to pass your ideological 
test. I'm just not sufficiently supple at present to insert my head into the 
required orifice.

And one last thing.
