I have created a side comments thread and moved a number of comments. It was not possible to completely separate comments I thought to be relevant from the squabbling, so I had to make a judgment call:
- Eddie’s personal experience with Bartlett is relevant.
- The origin/owner of the Blythe Institute is relevant.
The remaining personal attacks or snark should be disregarded, and I will police the thread to keep that from breaking out again. /fnord
ETA: There were a few comments moved that might be acceptable criticism, but such judgement calls are difficult. If you replied to an inappropriate comment it gets moved along with the rest - that’s all I have time to do.
