Yes, let's do that. Don't you see that some people mainly reacted to your rather idiotic hyperboles:
"he nearly has a aneurysm"
"like flying in a plane that's missing a wing"
"you write a mile long litany about it"
"perplexing and thoroughly out of balance"
"being so pedantic about the issue" (to someone else, mind you!

)

No, it was you who was going on and further after the "little ribbing", in reply to (understandable) remarks by the OP (the person who you were "ribbing").

Another hyperbole? And people who don't agree with you are only unjustly defending the OP?
Quote:
| Amazing the lack of perspective that can happen around here when anyone is even minutely critical of the exalted Mr. Harris. |
"Exalted"? So first you construe a crowd coming to the defense of RAH, and then you prove that by pointing out that ... they rush to come to his defense.

Perhaps people would, if
you didn't come back time and again to add to your (allow me)
mile long rant.
Oh, and sometimes, when a member who happens to be an administrator is taking part in a discussion, he's not doing that specifically in his capacity of administrator. Like Crawdaddy in this thread.
So "As an administrator, is there some reason why you are denying this request for me and prolonging an unnecessary debate?" is totally beside the point. In fact, one could wonder why
you, not being a moderator, try to direct other members to stop replying to your posts - more than once.
If you like a discussion to stop, the best way of course is: to stop in the first place. If you won't stop, people can rightfully assume that you really want to continue and they have a right to refute your last remark, whatever that happens to be (because you originally started the matter).
