I'm glad you have that type of relationship with the mods. You must be a very important person.
The only reason I ask about McDermott, even though you are correct about what the content of this thread pertains to, is because the two are obvious connected - this thread and the general feeling about McDermott.
Moreover, your sig line really makes me even more curious as to your feelings about McDermott, because it basically says that just because you ignore something, doesn't necessarily take away from its actual existence as a fact.
Now, the people that blindly ignore McDermott's performance are clearly missing some of the facts. Just as the people in this thread that are blindly ignoring people's opinions are missing the fact that they have the right to start threads voicing those opinions. This message board allows people to do that, and the minute that it takes away those priviledges is the minute that this site loses validity and credibility.
