Looks like this thread is taking a turn for the worse due to the childish personal attacks. Sorry folks but the conversation will have to be continued elsewhere. ---

Usually we don’t have to do a lot of enforcement in this forum, as generally people are well behaved and even considerate of one another, it’s one of my favorite forums for that reason alone. The first rule of the Straight Dope Message Board is “Don’t Be a Jerk.” The second (unofficial but nonetheless true) rule of the Straight Dope Message Board is “Don’t Piss Off the Moderators.” Finally, anybody that would be nasty to our Arnold, who is one of the nicest human beings on the face of the planet, well, that’s someone beyond redemption. Appropriate action has been taken.
