The issue is what you think it means - or what you're trying to have us believe you mean, to further an agenda. Until you can have a calm, rational discussion about it without resorting to calling people's understanding of the subject into question there's really no point - your rants serve no useful purpose.
FWIW, I thought your points responded directly and well, and am disappointed that spin's response was so... non-responsive.

Star then provided a counterexample: him/herself. Rather than admit you were a little off base, you were defensive and not responsive:

This discussion would benefit greatly if everyone would take the time to read and respond thoughtfully to what others write, which is just what star did.
