Doesn't mean they are not a valued member of the subsim community. Neil used to be quite strict about the atmosphere here - seems he doesn't care anymore.

I still care. Considering the situation, I think the atmosphere is still acceptable. I, Webs, and Takeda have been spending a lot of time and energy working with people in these discussions with minimal interference and discplinary action, to maintain a civil atmosphere. You were jumped on because 1. You threw down a pretty provacative position
and 2. there is some kind of internet herd mentality that dominates most people and compels them to respond with ever more harshness: I diagree with him and most people disagree with him--pile on!"
But I think you will find most people here will shake hands and walk away in the end.
