&lt;P&gt;Hm.  You may be right, there may have been a few replies that could've been handled a little more diplomatically.  However, this isn't the first time the subject has come up:&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://19539] and [id://19549]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://45958] (note the replies, especially [tilly]'s)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://60997]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://73653]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://74314]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://98596] (which has a very nice summary at the end)&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://149675]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;[id://171968]&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;

&lt;P&gt;There are, of course, several other nodes that I could have linked to.  However, I feel these provide a good overview of the basic ideals of the place and how previous conversations along those lines have gone.  You may note I sorted then by ID, which means they appear pretty much sorted by post date.  I find it interesting that certain themes are echoed in each of them.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;BTW, if anyone hasn't seen these threads already (or re-read them in some time), I recommend taking a few moments with them.  There's a bit of static in a few of the replies, but the basic ideals are pretty easy to discern.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;Now, if anyone feels the need to confess, [id://110224|feel free]...&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;I&gt;--f&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;P.S.  I'm sorry you felt the need to post anonymously; the sentiments you expressed are worth taking a stand for.&lt;/P&gt;
