    I am confused as to which obnoxiously stated extremist view to support. I suppose that I will just return to research, civilized discourse, continued self improvement and enjoyment of the hobby.

    While I do not believe that these types of threads advance one’s position or offer a reasoned approach to convert from one faction of the hobby/hobbies to the other, they are entertaining.

    One caveat; I have seen a few reasoned responses.

    Were Mr Indguard and Mr Fowler each to be handed a mirror, they might be surprised to see that nobody is standing behind them on their "side" of the hobby. Must be lonely...and sad.
    I'll stand behind WTH on any day time or place, his interest in the hobby, like I said hobby is real. I'm sure he makes a fine private because I know he makes a fine General. He just does not embrace the CPH view on all matters. That may be where he runs into problems here. This is the place to run down mainstreamers from the A/C forum, open dialog not allowed there.

    Heck Doug, I regularly run down the CPHers (and mainstreamers and farbs) on this forum..... when the Emperor has no clothes you simply document the facts and call him naked.

    Actually WTH usually runs into problems when, apparently acting on bad information he's received, characterizes cph values and positions inaccurately. He has a standing invitation from me to fall in at any history-heavier event where I've got a leadership role to correct his understanding of what goes on at these events, including the underwear inspections, rancid food commissary and stitch validation tent.

    You shouldn't be running down anyone, people need to understand that this is a HOBBY!!! key word: HOBBY

    Main Entry: hobby2
    Function: noun
    Inflected Form(s): plural hobbies
    Etymology: short for hobbyhorse
    Date: 1816
    : a pursuit outside one's regular occupation engaged in especially for relaxation.

    I also stand behind WTH as well. so, the next time someone wants to call someone a FARB look into a mirror....
