On balance scrolling past the unamed GUESTs does make most sense. Arguing directly with them doesn't. McGrath post.

I disagree mightily with that contention, Kevin. It is far too general a statement. I think that one has too weigh what the motive is and the effect of what is being proposed. I take this GUEST on because s/he is destructive and has an agenda that is not honest. I respond because of what is being said. I think that is the criteria. This place is a Forum. That indicates to me that it is exactly the place for debate. Folks espouse ideas and see how they fly. This person uses this in a very manipulative way. That bothers me, and as an active participant in the idea exchange, I feel it necessary to respond. To me, that is what a forum is all about.
