I was going to leave this one, but the last post by my friend kendall requires a response.

I am not piling on. I took his remarks and responded to them. He is the one who posted them. I did not join in any other comments, rather I simply posted my reaction to them. If others feel the same, they are simply responding as such. When you make a comment in a public forum, you implicitly state that you are inviting a response from the open public that reads it. When that public rejects it in large numbers, you got the response you sought. That is not piling on.
