I've been reading the comments here but have remained hands off the discussion because I would never touch it with a ten foot pole. But this comment strikes a nerve. Beyond the fact that your sentence style is much too passive voiced for my taste, I think you should give the Hubskiers here a bit more credit. I think the response you've gotten here is levelheaded and thoughtful. Considering the sensitivity of the topic, and how most people on and off the internet would simply dismiss you immedietly because of the emotions it brings to the table, I'd say you're doin alright here. Critical thought is what Hubski is all about. Just because its not the critical though that you like doesn't make it any less valid. Not trying to be antagonistic, but dismissing everyone else's thoughts on the matter sorta dismisses your own.
