[MD] The Class War Has Begun

[Horse]

Michael, you have just provided exactly the reason why I don't like 
these sort of discussions on MD.

There is no reasoned argument here, no wish to engage in a debate, just 
a nonsensical and incoherent rant.
Maybe this is the sort of rubbish that passes for debate where you come 
from but as this appears to be the best you can muster then maybe it is 
YOU who should drop out of the debate and let the grown-ups and those 
who wish to discuss it sensibly continue.

I am not against any discussion that is relevant to the MoQ and is 
discussed rationally and reasonably. However I am not going to put up 
with the talk radio crap that has been a hallmark of these types of 
discussions in the past so anyone joining in here needs to be coherent, 
rational and reasonable or they'll be removed from the discussion.

I hope that is clear enough.
