I agree with pretty much everything you've said on this thread, which makes it all the more important to me it be expressed persuasively and not angrily. Remember: you're not just writing to the person you're responding to, but also to everybody else who reads the thread. Trust readers to spot inane arguments, if you perceive them to be coming up!
