As I wrote, opinions vary.
If iwhat Dan does was one or a few instances, I wouldn't have a problem. But it's a common occurrence, and often of poor or innuendo laden content or half truths of the nature that does no one any good and also hurts the chances of improvement of the body of knowledge. After ~ 40+ years around the subject, I think I may be entitled to an opinion as to the value of some content.
I'm in agreement with you about avoiding personalities. To that point, and, as I've also written more than a few times, I'm not writing about the poster. I'm critical of the content of Dan's posts and also (IMO only) what looks to me to be the self serving reasons why such blather shows up here in the first place. I don't like, or dislike, Dan. To do that I need to know him and I do not. FWIW, I suspect we share more than a few opinions - probably more than SK and I share. That has nothing to do with my beef.
I don't go around stinking up forums that deal with areas Dan may be knowledgeable in, consistently spouting junk that fits my world view with no real knowledge about what I'm writing about, and exhibiting what's easily seen as B.S. by people knowledgeable in such fields. I believe I have more respect and consideration of and for others than that.
I think it would be better for this forum and R.E. in general if Dan did the same with respect to this forum.
I'm done with this thread. The last word is for others.
