Everyone that is bothered by it ought to. I ought to, for that matter.

Like I say, it's nothing personal, but it is blatantly obvious that you two
don't see eye-to-eye, don't understand how the other one thinks, and can't
get around it.  Why do either of you bother?

I admit I ought to do a better job of ignoring Scott Arthur's drivel.

Youch, an insult.

But I
just don't suffer fools gladly,

Youch, an insult.

Here you two go AGAIN!  You obviously haven't gotten the whole point of this
thread.  I doubt many of us CARE who is right, who is wrong, who is insulting
who, or who the real critical thinker (if either are) is.

I think the point is, people shove this group on ignore when you two go at it
because it never ends.  Frankly, its lowering the value of this group for the
readers (IMHO) [1].

What I would like (and I believe others would like it too, since its been
expressed here a couple times) is for you two to take this offline and work out
your differences, but don't bother us with them.  You two nitpick to the
teeniest level.  (Note: I don't care if one of you will reply to this and say
the other is the nitpicker - that'll just start it up again)

Really, this whole thread is like trying to talk some sense into a couple 6 yr
olds, and not being able to because they keep pointing at each other and saying
'but he started it.'

Please, grow up.  Or if you can't, take this to email.

(sorry I went over 2 cents there, but phew, I feel much better now)

[1] I'm not sure if I believe this group should exist or not - I go back and
forth on that one.
