My god people, can we just drop this and move on already? No one's 
opinions are going to be changed, and there's no magic bullet argument 
that will shut down someone you disagree with. Swallow your bile and 
carry on.

Sorry to be jumping in like this, I'm just frustrated that THIS is 
what's the community is going to spend its time on. Seems rather much a 
waste.
