Whoa, whoa--there has clearly been some misunderstandings/miscommunications here, if only by me.
Would you all mind communicating with each other by PM, to see if there can be hopefully either an understanding or an agree-to-disagree end reached? There appears to be a level of upset that is beyond my comprehending, and I intend to set about following my own advice, now.

EDIT:
The primary point of good manners is acting in such a way that people around one are as comfortable as possible. I sincerely hope that everyone who posts here will use good manners. Please note: this is NOT saying, "Don't dare voice a dissenting opinion"; it is saying that if you do, please be nice about it. Thank you very much.
