OK, I'm really tired of this debate. I think the participants have
reached impasse, and unlike most USENET debates I get into, it isn't
fun. So:
Chris, if I misunderstood your point and over-reacted I apologize. I've
let this get somewhat personal, and that's my failing.
Todd, I await your decision. As I said, I will honor it regardless of
how I feel about it. If I'm truly in the minority on this point, if
something like 95% of users support such a ban, I'll even agree with it,
philosophically at least, even if I disapprove in principal.
To the rest of you, if I've drug this out I apologize to you as well. I
hope you can understand that my position is a philosophical one. I'm
not encouraging the worst possible behavior, merely objecting to a
blanket ban on a disputed issue.
