TDoss showed up, but the main problem is FSG decided to unmask himself. He said he opposes anything I believe, simply because I believe it.  He's a hateful contrarian now, by his own admission.  He's driving a lot of the back and forth now, and I think more of us need to ignore him.

No, the problem is, every time there is a good discussion going, you and everyone else have to bury the discussion under 3 dozen posts about you.  It's your fault as much as it is theirs.  

Look, you're obviously a very smart guy, generally much smarter than the people you are interacting with, and you contribute a lot of good posts and good discussion, but you willingly allow yourself to be derailed into a back and forth about you.  Since I think you are a smart person, I have to think you are doing it willingly.  If you would just stop responding to personal attacks, we could keep a good discussion.  But lately, I've seen someone post an interesting point, and it gets buried under THREE PAGES of back and forth about you.  Yes, it is not all your fault, but you could stop it by just ignoring it.
