Idolatry is not a valid basis for argument.

This debate arose from a public act by Jimbo.  That alone makes it a 
valid subject for public discussion.  While I don't completely disregard 
the possibility that some people may have taken this as an opportunity 
for personal attacks, the discussion as a whole is focused on solving a 
real problem.
