No it's not.

Cool - you play contrary when you want. I'm fine with that. I thought
you weren't.

Ouch! You missed a big fat softball, JFT.

I'm chalking this whole thread (and the previous one) to the effects
of global warming on northeastern weather right now: it's too warm to
ski and too cold to ride a bike.

We're all cranky.

It would appear that each participant's argument is a connected series
of statements intended to establish that the other participant is a
jerk. Each new salvo has a reflexive quality, in several senses of the
word.

Seriously though, whether or not there is merit to the debate from a
truth/justice/beauty standpoint, it's definitely not on topic for this
group. Netiquette, such as it is, would demand this be taken offline
or to a different forum.

No more than taking your kid over to a neighbor's house would be the
appropriate way to deal with a behavior problem at home.
