FYI Hawkmoon, expressions of this ilk drip of distain and superiority and are freaking me out...

It's a legitimate word Faultline and there's no reason that someone need interpret it as being negative. It's all in the eyes of the interpreter.

And in this case, it denotes a group of people who share common values, perceptions, and interpretations.

And while I have few feelings of personal superiority over anyone else on this discussion forum, I do believe that my logic and command of the facts in many cases is superior than those who conveniently choose to believe they don't matter, preferring to convince us that their emotional "heat" should be given as much credibility as intellectual "light".

And I suspect there are many other people of similar ilk who would agree with me.
