Wheat and chaffe notwithstanding, BOF is a person on this thread that is in part, presenting one seemingly informed viewpoint. It is unfortunate that the argument or information is being so wrapped up in aggressive armour, but that may be as result of wandering into the dragons den?
This is a very unusual event, although the CRM issues it raises (usually to a much lower degree) have a significance for everyone, if only from a general interest point of view. In other words there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere. To that end perhaps we could "can" some of the more churlish comments and either discuss it more seriously or simply read and listen.
I am not for one minute suggesting BOF is either right, well advised, or has the moral high ground, but it doesn't hurt to listen, rather than simply offer a churlish retort.
