Now that I reread your post, a particular comment that you made left me with a bit of a funny feeling. It was this:

That doesn't make sense to me. If John were both intelligent and sincere about wanting to participate this forum, he could easily make his points while maintaining the standard for polite discourse. Since he hasn't, I have to presume he is either not too bright or not too sincere.

It seems to me that your point could have been made very effectively without adding personal insult. I feel that this statement violates the very "standard for polite discourse" which it promotes. This is exactly the sort of statement that has caused many a poster on this thread to be rebuffed. I know that if someone referred to one of our regulars in those terms you would (correctly) be among the first to stand at their defense.

Respectfully,
