@Seamus thanks so much for clarifying. I’m relieved to hear the intent was debate and appreciate everyone being willing to revisit this and support positive engagement.

I also believe I would seriously enjoy to meet each and all of you in person some day - the debate face to face might be much better than we can do asynchronously here.

@bmike: More friction w/ user343... this answer. I've noticed that most of his 20+ comments over the past two days are for my "benefit". Coincidence? You decide.

@bmike: I don't like this, so I'm going to fade away for a while & see if things cool off. If you've any other suggestions, would love to hear them.
