So far I've only sat back and watched...and I really don't care about this at all. However , that last post about "watching who responds" is a shoddy debate tactic called "poisoning the well" in philosophy and is usually on a par with ad hominem attacks (in other words, bad form used by weak arguers who usually imagine [incorrectly] that they have scored a point). Also, there is an execellent possiblity that you need to include those who flame-bait in your neurotic categories. Now, why don't you simply behave and join the community - contributing something positive as you admonish others to do - instead of selfishly trying to redefine it according to your own drives or else find a mailing list devoted to provocation? This is not meant as a challenge / insult and I do not intend to continue the thread nor am I interested in your response whatsoever.
