I'm afraid that I find this bit here particularly insulting. What gives
you the right to define what is or is not garbage to the rest of us? And
who are you to "show us the way?" As much as some of us (including me)
enjoy the fantasy of the treehouse, darlin', this ain't it. I don't know
if I would stay here if it was. I enjoy the fact that people here are
comfortable enough with eachother to occasionally "dump their garbage".

This statement makes me so angry, I can't even begin to discribe. Kyle
is a sweet and funny man, I would never think of calling him a child.
If you don't like his posts, skip over them.

Actually, if you look at what he's saying, there is alot of deep thinking
going on in Kyle's posts. He works by playing the antagonist. Its a way
for one to reanalyze their arguements on a particular topic. If you have
to really defend your POV then you have to constantly reevaluate your
arguements to determine their relevancy. Kyle's posts make people do
that, and I think that that is good.
