And Columbia2002, I respect your points-of-view, as unnecessarily vitriolic they can be, and I’m both pleased and offended that you did not flame me in response. [insert smiley face]

<p>When someone’s writing is coherent and they actually make a point that is supported by some sort of reasoning, it’s quite easy to have an intelligent discussion. However, that’s not the case with a lot of the stuff on here, e.g., the OP’s posts.</p>

If tough love is the goal, I’m not sure that an anonymous web site is the place to express it. I simply invite all to tone down the discourse. I suspect that the discussion would be more pleasant if it were face-to-face.

<p>My goal isn’t tough love. My goal is to make clear, effective points – and make them quickly. I’m not going to spend 15 minutes writing some long post that’s sensitive and where the substance is buried so as not to offend the person. It’s better for everyone to just write “you’re completely wrong because ______”</p>
