Think again, Chet. The bad behavior of people does not govern the validity of their opinions. You should know that from your own experience - I'm sure you've encountered many evil people who have some very valid ideas. Besides, not everyone who opposes the healing threads is in the habit of attacking people. You have to look at the issue and judge it on its own merits. "Not hurting anybody" is not the sole gauge of the value of something, either.
Both sides of this debate have validity. What we need to do is find the common ground. How can we accommodate the chit-chat, the healing people, and the music and intellectual discussions, and make the whole community thrive?
