I have enjoyed this thread immensely (much of it I've read in the evening after the iniitial exchanges). There has been some heat but as VBB says, this mainly reflects the fact that contributors are passionate about this. As Evergreen Dazed said (I think, apologies if it was Mustard) people are clearly thinking about this stuff and after that much of it is shades of conscience.

But this last little bit has annoyed me. Twice now you've mentioned sockpuppetry Goff. I have seen no evidence of this whatsoever in this thread, and I'm afraid that comes across as stirring, at least to me. Care to elaborate on where you believe the sockpuppets to be?
