/ Well, the problem is that some people didn't limit themselves to
/ judging the idea, they went on to judge the person who proposed it, and his
/ motives. Some even went so far as to tell us what his intent was. This was

I'll admit that I haven't been following this thread to closely, but
this post caught my attention.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is starting to look like the beginnings of
a brush fire that could lead to an all out flame war. If I'm
mistaken, I apologize for the intrusion.
If I'm not mistaken please, try to remain calm and rational. If you
gotta flame on, do so off the list.
This has been a friendly notice from your local neighborhood GridSec
Enforcer.
Thank you for your time.
