PDV, I like you and often agree with you and am on your side about the circling thing, so I hope you will take this in the sense it is meant, but I agree with gworley. In particular, I think you often tend to escalate arguments you’re part of, sometimes to the point of transforming them into demon threads even though they didn’t have to be. That’s a good trait to have sometimes: it’s what lets you point out that the emperor has no clothes. But I get the feeling that you’re not deploying it particularly tactically, and you’d probably do better at advancing your goals if you also deescalated sometimes.
