Dan, you're entitled to your opinion, as is everyone else.

I don't see the visceral attack--some people interpret disagreement that way, though. I don't intend it that way, but after the leveraged protests against schools over here, I do respond strongly to exaggerated claims (as I think some of the information has been reframed) and conspiracy drama.

Haigek, I think some

Anyone reading Barbara's 30+ messages in that thread alone -- viscerally attacking just about everyone that speaks up against the site -- might just get the idea that you are the #1 proponent of the site.
If I was wrong, I apologize.

Dan, if you mean me, I have attended no meetings on this and have not spoken either for or against the site.

"The tone of some (not all) members of the opposition has been disturbing, and makes it difficult to engage in the discussion at all."

That's a kind of a cheap shot there John. It clearly goes both ways.

Just look at Priscilla Godfrey's
