"Discussed this at length"

You discussed this at length with multiple people who spent much time analyzing this very issue. Multiple people that you trust and I assume respect.
Multiple people that felt this very issue was worth spending much time analyzing and even you felt the issue was important enough to have lengthy discussions pouring over their findings and yet, and yet when the issue comes up on the umpire board, a place where such findings have real relevance
Not only doyou dismiss the one bringing up the issue but then insult him, have zero tolerance for another opinion and fail to share the relevant research that was graciously given to you by this research team.

Wow, that speaks volumes

I wonder if your fellow anti tie cohorts picked up on this. That at one time you apparently were on the fence or worse, even dare I say IN the TIE camp?

I guess it's kind of like an ex smoker that becomes intolerant of other smokers once he quits.
