EP, perhaps you can encourage RODOG to explain his... well, his accusation and/or why he's so bothered by me posting this thread. Seriously, if people need me to post the comments which inspired me to make this thread, to combat the alarming ignorance that's out there... I will upon request.


Anyway... EP? Did I answer your question? And, if so, do you have any other questions or comments on the topic here?

Yes, your post addressed to me answered my question.

In regards to the tone of the thread, that is fine if you don't feel the need to defend yourself against his AA comments. I would agree with you: simply don't. But it is certainly not appropriate to go and make comments like this:

This is just allowing the off-topic nature of it to continue. We should want to keep the topic that you posted alive and not let the thread deteriorate. Just ignore any further off-topic baiting, and I assure you that since it has been identified by a mod (myself), any further off-topic baiting will be handled.
