Fair enough, the middle does need to be clarified.  And maybe the 
conversation can proceed in a calm way if we remember that we do have a 
pretty easy consensus on the extremes and are quibbling thoughtfully 
over some middle points.

I still think it is not that hard, but I suppose I might be coming at 
this from my own perspective (that it is overboard to hastily remove 
links to a legitimate blog or to Michael Moore's site which is doing 
something irritating at the moment).
