Shut the hell up. Seriously.

This is one of the only threads in the years of GC that has discussed a whole lot of dynamics without becoming a fun "(insert group) war." People have done pretty well with disagreeing without going off on each other even when expressions of opinions became testy. I will let you know when we're resorting back to calling people idiots and stuff. That's also fun. See you then.

And then PincGator Que weighed in with his hate. Blew me away. I've learned a lot from this thread. Enjoyed the open discussion and the heretofore solid, well-considered exchange of knowledge and opinions.
