Well, I normally don't lurk here because as you mentioned the discussion often gets pretty strident and can quickly devolve into name calling or insults. I only followed this one here since it originally started in the Classic and Vintage section before it was moved. I did make one snarky remark but after it drew a discourteous response I deleted it. It is pretty easy to get dragged down into the dark side if you let yourself!
