Don't worry about it.
Someone has to try to interrupt the Groupthink that usually prevails on FR.
My grampa used to tell me that if two people always agree on everything then at least one of them stopped thinking.
The "Me too" crowd doesn't contribute nearly as much as the voices of dissent.
I didn't see or hear the debate, but your take on it is every bit as valid as any other I've read.
Just want to make sure I understand. You didn't see the debate but have dismissed those of us who did as "group thinkers" just because we reached independent conclusions that might agree? Hmmm...
