For what it is worth I have great respect for Josef Lowder. He has been the voice of reason in my life several times and in getting to know Josef, I know he only intends good.

    This thread needs to end.  It's so far off topic that it has
    nothing whatsoever to do with Linux/FOSS.  It's devolved into
    religion and politics and can go nowhere good from here.

    If you would like to continue to discuss it, please take it off
    the list, but I suggest you just drop it entirely though.  We have
    a couple of very strong opinions on the same subject and I can
    tell that neither side it going to win in this debate and you'll
    just end up hating each other, and I think that everyone can agree
    that we need a lot less hate in this world.

Another discussion group to which I belong has the delightful practice of "calling pizza." Whenever an OT: thread becomes overheated and tends toward the acrimonious any member can invoke the call. It suggests: "instead of continuing THIS debate let's all go out and have some pizza." The group then quietly drops the thread with no further discussion and gets back "on topic."
