As sometimes happens, I do try to be civil when engaging someone whose opinion I find ridiculous. Right now, that is the case with a commentor on the article. Because I could not find a 'nice' way to address it, I wimped out and stepped around it. You've now armed me with the perfect response for the next one. Which, given the mentality of too many is sure to come.
