Particularly in a long and increasingly vitriolic 
thread which will simply gain fuel as more people 
participate.

And even more particularly when the original 
poster accused another party by name (or at least 
by site URL, which among this community is much 
the same thing), without doing the courtesy of 
listing his or her own.

I don't know about you, but I'm thinking that 
even random humor would be a nice improvement to 
this thread.

Oh!  And here's that round of applause!  **much 
clapping, and a guess as to your age**  ^__^
