I agree with Eric on this. Stifling debate is a big part of what you do when
you want to shut out the people from having a say in the decision making
process. You are wrong to criticize Eric for his post - he was making a
valid, on-topic post. As for calling names,  "if the shoe fits...". Also,
some strong language sometimes serves to wake folks up and get their
attention.
