What an abomination of the original post this thread has become.
After what appeared a promising series of posts discussing relevant and related issues, it has been hijacked
for a pathological series of rants and block quotes form an unhealthily obsessed zealot, ably assisted by others looking for an argument.
These others are apparently oblivious to the pathology, and are enthusiastically feeding it.

Quite a while back, I made a feeble and polite attempt to suggest restraint.
It fell on deaf ears,and I suppose I should have known that given the nature of the arguments that developed.

This whole thread serves as an object lesson in hijacking an original post and thread in the interest of a different personal agenda. It is arrogant and disrespectful to a pathological degree.
