"insults, dishonesty and evasion."
A quick list
What we need is an Authentication Standards Panel. We could call them the Folk Poli.... no, wait a minute.... forget that. It's not such a good idea after all.

?So with my apologies I have to tell the Musical Traditions Club that they have failed the JC test.?

?Why have we allowed one man to highjack this thread?
What sort of personality thrives on such self-absorption and verbal conflict?
Why do so many people try to reason with a person who is clearly incapable of a discussion that can move a thread or topic forward?
Can I make a suggestion? That we ignore his comments, insults, rudeness, demands for explanations and definitions and try to address the interesting question posed in the opening post and only respond accordingly. He may even get fed up and go away.
I am sure that I am not the only one that does not subscribe to the Carrollocentric Universe Theory and find the circumlocution that it entails very trying.?

?And still we are allowing ourselves to be led into engaging with displays of morbid obsession and dishonesty.?

Maybe we can stop this bloodletting and move on - please
