Oz, you cannot have it both ways. On one hand, you say that "the posts this point on will determine if that is the will of others" but at the same time you imply that anyone posting here will cause the increased acrimony on the board.
It is totally unacceptable to take FT hostage that way.
As a doctor, you gave some medical advice on another thread. This goes straight to the core of the issue of your credibility on this board. Let me ask again: what kind of doctor are you?

I am sure we will hear from people saying that this thread should die. They are well-intentioned. But in my opinion, they are also unable to resolve the basic issue.
