It’s called trying to have a reasonable discussion until the “hate” crap comes out. You can’t have a reasonable discussion when the whole thing is tied down by a dumb budget.
This thread was never intended as a “reasonable discussion”, he has got just exactly what he was looking for from the start. A lot of bickering and arguing. It was not about provoking thought or dialogue or opening anyone’s mind.
It was all about stirring the pot and he has done that job well.
