The Lounge is clearly the place here to debate the unprovable, if you're not too concerned about wasting time. And such debates can throw up interesting points. Hopefully nobody concerned feels too attacked to engage further elsewhere in Mobileread. I certainly didn't come away from it with hard feelings towards anyone.

Hi Graham,
Such debates can throw up interesting things. I mean in all fairness (and I didn't get through the whole thread) terrazoids wasn't actually that bad. I didn't see any blatant insults. And I'm not so sure this was someone who was uneducated. We can dislike his opinions, for sure.... but whats the use in just dismissing him out of hand? I think its pretty representative of a whole section of society. And their voices should be heard not stifled.
