New rule!
Bringing in debates from other blogs to this blog, or discussing the relative merits of another blog (assuming that is not the actual subject of the post) is off-topic, including on the Open Thread. Taking it to the next bar over is not taking it outside; we are not a dueling ground, and we are not the appropriate place to sort out who said what to whom back in 2008 and why so-and-so is just soooo mean. Please leave your grudgematches at the door.
There goes my side business of running a NSWATM fights gambling site xD
Thank you!
