Ok. I listed four classes of activity, and tried to do it calmly. I hope you find that informative.
Yes, thanks. It was mostly a recap of some of the responses that had been given previously.
I've also trimmed the parts of your post here that seemed inflammatory to me. If you are trying to decrease the hysteria, you might consider doing something similar when replying more in this thread.
I was more marveling at it than trying to decrease it. But if you'd like to try to decrease it, feel free.
Since you were just trying to have a discussion and apparently aren't advocating anything, are you done now? It seems like there has been plenty of discussion on this topic, and if you aren't enjoying it, perhaps letting it go until people are less worked up would be better.
Why would you think I wasn't enjoying it? The personal attacks, insults, and hysterical rhetoric that suddenly appeared in the discussion took me a bit by surprise, but they provide an amusement of sorts.
