Okey-dokey. This is getting deeply tiresome.

I don't want to pull down this post. I don't like shutting down productive debate and thoughtful disagreements. What is happening, however, is that some exceptionally annoying and rude people seem bent on posting exceptionally unproductive comments on a post that's now more than two years old.

Seriously, folks, it's all right if you disagree with me: I can handle it. But if you're bent on stopping by to call me and other readers names, well, that's just obnoxious.
