I don't want to get personal, but after reading your very comprehensive posts, we clearly disagree about what civil posting behavior is (if your posts were meant to illustrate civility, which I assumed they were.) I also do not think you have taken in to account that people will hold one responsible for posting behavior in other venues - so even if posts on a thread are not horrible, bad public behavior elsewhere (especially concurrently), perhaps in small enclaves with like minded people, especially when it insults certain moderators, will certainly be taken in to account. Just my opinion, but I think it's logical and I'm sticking with it. Since moderators are human, they probably don't like to be insulted any more than anyone else, and they will retaliate when insulted. Thanks for the many posts; I hope some day you get the resolution to this situation that you desire (or if you are content with the way it is now, that you stay that way.) We will continue to disagree on this matter, and I see no reason to draw it out further.

Absolutely and totally agree. You do not. Granny often gives the impression she is from a different planet and completely unfamiliar with this one. One her planet, agricultural mmethods that are adequate to support a billion are easily scaled up to support 6 billion. And changing from modern methos to those of a century or more ago will not result in the deaths of billios and wars, revolutions, and masive civil disorder. Granny completely ignores the fact that the Green Revolution is dependent on modern farm techniques and lifted the population of India alone from 500 million to 1 billion. Prior to the begininning of the Green Revolution, recurrent famine was the fate of India. It was so successful, its methods were applied through much of the 3rd world. Now we face continuation of it or disaster. Take your pick.
