Perhaps you don’t realize it, but your tone has a tendency to put off potential Tiber-swimmers. Reasoned discussion, as practiced by certain other members of this forum, can have the opposite effect.

I normally don't take that tone. However, when POST #1 calls a remarkable Council a tragedy, and the whole article seemed to be have its own conclusions assumed as fact, a forceful response seemed to be called for. Sometimes, a tepid response to certain types of insinuations can be taken for lack of deep belief in a position.
