If you think that opposing such a tactic is "silly and juvenile" then I'm damned glad to be "silly and juvenile".
And I think most of the posters here on FR would agree with me, and not you.
There is something wrong with your braggingly stated credentials, because no one could remain so stupid after receiving a real graduate education.
