    No. However, you might want to reconsider the manner in which you present your case.

    You mean sugar coat it?

    This is why the terrorists hate us.

    If by "sugercoat" you mean "present an argument with a sweet, sweet covering of fact, support, and plausibility," then, yes, sugarcoat the hell out of it.

    Or you can keep insulting people, providing a mix of fact and unsourced supposition, and failing to explain how your conclusions follow from your postulates, eventually getting laughed off the board. Then you'll think we're all blind fools, and we'll think you're a paranoid nutter, and we'll all be secure in our respective superiority without having learned or accomplished anything.

    Okay, this can't go anywhere good from here. My apologies to everyone for not seeing this last night.

    ETA: Clarifying one thing. duranduran, since I apparently wasn't clear enough, by paying attention to the manner in which you present your case, I meant the attitude that has been present in every single post. I think you'll find that presenting your case in a calm, rational manner will get you a lot farther than something that reads like it is only being posted to raise ire and get a reaction. This is the last friendly warning you'll receive on the subject.
