OK Olin, my time is yet again short, so I'm going to spell this out very
simply, and then I'm done with this thread as it is:

You have brought no new argument to this thread, therefore there is no
need for discussion in my eyes.

As for the situation:

You are on moderation because your comments tend to inflame.

You will be on moderation until you state an understanding of WHY you
are on moderation, and pledge that you will work to change how you state
things to avoid a flame war.

The option of leaving is always on your plate.

That's it. If you have something NEW to discuss I'm all ears, otherwise
I will no longer repeat what I've said numerous times already.

If one of the other Admins has an interest in furthering this discussion
I'm sure they'll step in, I for one feel this thread has been disruptive
enough as it is, with no constructive addition to the list.
