Well, that’s what I was afraid of - or I should say that I was afraid that posters would take exception to other posters “jaw-dropping” examples - and instead of just moving it to the Pit, I tried to moderate it in such a way that it didn’t turn into nasty squabbling. Whether or not I’ve succeeded at that (and evidence indicates that I haven’t), the thread is pretty much toast now, I think.
I’ll close it.
