Confident predictions of failure for the KSO on MR? Where do you get this stuff? When the KSO was first being discussed in various threads on MR, there was no clear consensus. In fact, there was a pretty even split between "why not?" and "f*** no!"... from the very start.

IOW, there WERE confident predictions of failure (as well as predictions of success). Thanks for agreeing with me.

Your constant willingness to paint the entire (or even a simple majority) of the MR membership with your wide, digerati® paint-brush is completely unwarranted (and quite lazy). If you weren't spending 100% of your time focused the few threads that are based on highly contentious subjects, you'd realize this.
What was the last book you read? Did you share your experience with the MR membership in the "What are you reading now?" thread? Or would you rather just focus on the differences that you have with the very vocal minority--and pretend like it's a vast army that you've been charged with vanquishing single-handedly?

Well, I have to admit some of the threads I have started or participated in have been quite contentious , but generally, that's only in relation to the Topic That Cannot be Rationally Discussed. If you do a search on my username, you will see that I have participated in quite a few non-contentious threads, including threads in which I have made recommendations or talked about what I have read.
