I'll admit to a small ulterior motive here. Make no mistake, the OP is exactly what it is. I said what I meant and I meant what I said. But the incidental effect of the OP was to prove how derisive and dishonest so many can be by bringing them out into the light of day.

My skin is pretty thick, so they really don't bother me and they are indeed 'easily handled' due to their insubstantial nature. But what truly amazes me is how strong their opinions are about things they have no material support for.

Just look at how many say things like "it's everywhere", "You violated your pledge" or "you know it's true" without one single shred of evidence. I can't imagine having such strong opinions based on virtually nothing. They don't link, they don't post excerpts, they don't give reasons... just blind derision.

I'm very glad that threads like this one expose these tactics.

Thank you much for chiming in.
