Personal comments.
I've exercised some restraint on this thread but being continually called a troll, a paid fudder, an "entity", even a "middle manager" (whatever that is, but sounds pretty loathsome) is trying even my long patience. Nothing could be further from the truth, and many people here know it.
Mods please stop it, or I will feel justified in replying to any future such with an accurate estimate of offending poster's characteristics, in a way not calculated to reduce tensions.
Maybe some here might take my ignoring such comments, repeated again and again with impunity, as evidence that they are in fact true? Well, if so, I'd better stop ignoring them!
