Preface
At risk of potentially getting banned again, (saving my post; deleting it doesn't make me go away) I figure a week of invalid, inappropriate forced silence (on my own account at least) is quite enough. Considering that you guys have essentially been carrying on a conversation involving me, without me included, I don't really feel too bad about joining in. A lot has been said on a lot of topics, so instead of responding to individual people I'm just going to address everyone. A few pieces of this will look familiar to those I've had private conversations with through email, but please read carefully as the context is different.
