You picked a good spot. Members from three sites, with all consequences save PlaneFriend's removed? That's a recipe for monumental brilliance and stupidity. Like shooting all the PT Corgies to stop them running around attacking people. Here, you only have to read the results.
To be fair, you've got some great guys in the thread, who have been around since the olden days of the 'net and are pretty knowledgeable about history, and chill in demeanor. But back to that little thing of 'all consequences removed', most are newer and rather caustic.
