Agreed.  My next post is an attempt in this vein.  If we're going to
discuss this, let's do so with civility, with respect, and with
courtesy.  This goes for both sides of the argument.  Calling people
or their views, ideas, or even misconceptions ignorant, lies,
or dishonest is at best rude and at worst, slanderous.  No finger
pointing here.  I've seen both sides do it.  Let's just calm down and
discuss the technical issues.  We all may just learn something.
