Discussion is fine. An exchange of ideas is always stimulating. But over the past several years, I've seen way too many hurt feelings because of these books. Actually I believe there have been several people who no longer felt they were welcome here because of their views on the relaunch. I would hate to see that happen again. I like all of you too much for that.
Everyone has the right to their opinion and everyone has the right to disagree. But like religion and politics, this is just one of those emotionally charged topics that tends to divide rather than unite.
