Well done for bringing the thread back on-topic! We've strayed a bit from the original discussion.

Yes, I think you're right - but I'm not sure what's violent about it!

I think that you and I are just going to have to accept that we are coming from different angles here. Neither I nor EZ, JMC, Ryan, the RAF or whomever are fascist (and I would resent that insinuation, if I could be bothered), and it's true that opinions change over time about what objective criteria should be met when looking for new blood. But objective criteria will always be there, if only to limit the workload for the recruiters.
Or are you seriously suggesting that every able-bodied wannabe should be interviewed for every employment opportunity? You gonna pay for that?!
