I do not think it's a game, and I do not think 10,000 replies explaining things to Shambles would change his feelings one whit. He is simply a person with an excess of "righteous indignation" and tenacity. This can be put to good use, or it can become merely an irritating hobby.

I once knew a boy who joined the army --and eventually got discharged because he didn't LIKE the way it was run. At every turn, he saw what seemed to him like injustice and unfairness, and he continuously argued with them...a bad case of tilting at windmills if I ever saw one. He finally got information on illegal practices in the Quartermaster Corps in Korea, and was 'bought off' with an early discharge.

My minds runs in several ways as to what we ought to do in the face of this .....If Shambles continues to bring it up, I suppose some combination of us who disagree will continue to post the contrary views for the sake of readers who are new to the notions of our very own Don Quixote.
