I agree, and this is one of the unfortunate things about the nature the discussion can take on these boards. I sometimes reply knowing that I have no prayer of changing the mind of the person to whom I am responding, but I know that there are new members every week and I feel that both sides of the discussion need to be represented. (one recent painful thread comes to mind!!) Furthermore, I can see the points made when all of you respond to a particularly stubborn individual (regardless of who that person might be on a given thread) and you make points based on rules, reason, cases, etc.
I think it is a pain to keep doing this at times, but hopefully somebody will continue to make the case-based, rule-based arguments so that people don't show up to learn and learn the wrong things, or just hear one side of the story. Everyone must draw their own conclusions and call their own game, but those who come here to learn the game should see all sides of an issue and be allowed to decide for themselves.
