Sliding off the subject to inject an observation, I *really* hope we get debate

Your point is about nothing else but other people whining when it's 
observed correctly. One hears it often enough in other contexts. Why 
are *you people* always whining and complaining about _____? It 
isnt' going to change anything. The rest, the stuff asking why 
hadn't people already spoken up is moot since people had.

No, you didn't misunderstand, just misrepresented. However, to 
answer you, of course not, Village Straw Man. Not even a "nice try."
