I know better than to think I can post an item like this and not get an ... active ... discussion. Recognizing that, I've held off on intervention so far. But I think it's fair to say that the useful part of this conversation has pretty much run its course and we should let it die down, even if somebody else is still being horribly wrong and hasn't yet been made to see the light.

Thank you.

You're right, of course. Any way to put this message at the top of the comments?

Indeed. I know I can sometimes be a bit (hopefully only a bit) of a hothead in online discussions. However, this discussion, even if there was a lot of good about it, made me sad at multiple points.

It seems that this message didn't get through... I've just put this item on moderation, and we'll be quite reluctant to let any further comments through. Time to move on, please.
