Read a bit, listened a bit. Gagged early on.

The problem with extreme views and closely held beliefs is that they
may as well be religion. On a religious level, no arguments are valid
as they necessarily debate closely held beliefs based on extreme
views. As conversion ain't gonna happen nohow, nothing gonna change
other than the expenditure of vast amounts of hot air, blather and
general idiocy.

Why isn't this obvious enough to get the keepers of said beliefs (all
sides as there are many more than two) to simpy shut up and enjoy
themselves? The single alternative is continued rancor. And while
invective is good fun it accomplishes little.

Sadly such debates gather hagfish, remora and other bottom feeders
about the combatants searching for cuts to infect and bits of flesh
and blood in the water. Hence we have the likes of the "commander" and
others.

The lot of you, in the words of Howland Owl ought to stick your
collective and several heads in a bucket of water three times, but
pull it out twice.
