Referencing that particular thread, four (4) people stood up for Dan against Walter's unrelenting onslaught. U-n-r-e-l-e-n-t-i-n-g.
And this is a a group reaction? Please get a grip young man. It's a complete misreading and a fabrication to boot. Margo is right, out of the pool of about 20 odd regular posters (by extension), four (4) people were bothered to post on this subject disagreeing with Walter's take and gave their support to Dan. Walter being Walter cannot let go and wants to debate : ). Some of us have wisened-up over time and stop reacting at some point (well, me, only, probably ...).
Completely my own sorry take fwiw, and between you, me and the lamppost, Dan is a great Leader ish . But do stand up for Walter, he needs it (as if).
