I have a firm grip on reality. I'm not so sure you do. I'm not the only one
who thinks that either.

Should we take a poll on who has a firmer grip?
Or perhaps on who is a more valuable contributor?
Or perhaps on who is more annoying?
Or more clueless?

Heck, I'd even accept the outcome of a poll with these three choices:

- Ban Scott from .debate, he is low value add and annoying
- Ban Larry from .debate, he is low value add and annoying
- Ban neither of them, they're both fine enough

(although I won't accept "ban both", sorry, it's me OR you that has to go)

I doubt most o-t-debators would choose seriously from any of the above
options other than the 3rd, though maybe that's just me. I can't see
actually wanting to ban either of you based on your previous content.

Nice analysis, Dave.  Indeed, I wouldn't want any of the options listed; my
preference is for each to ignore the other, but that's beyond my power (and
apparantly, their power).  Lacking my favorite choice, I have pretty much
chosen to banish myself for the most part in the last 6 months or so.  I
started reading again right a bit after the 11th, because there was some
good strong debate going, with little noise.  However, it seems to have
again degraded into Guns, God, Scott & Larry.

No point in listening to the radio if all you pick up is static.  (No matter
where the static is coming from, or how well-informed it is.)

thanks,

James
