Despite the downvotes you've gotten (I know PG removed them, but I can still tell by color) I really think you've got a good point. I honestly felt at least some of the same vitrol that comes across in your post, but suppressed it for the purposes of discussion. In reading your response, I had quite a cathartic reaction. I actually felt myself relax. (I hadn't even realized I was holding tension - neat!) Regardless of any other votes you get, thanks for putting up an honest reaction.
