Well, lead, I was gonna pipe up and say, "Fine, you take the high road, I'll call them Dumb and Dumber." But then I thought I should review each's posting history. In fact, both are quite thoughtful (Oldfriend more so, IMO).
Nevertheless, they are both wrong here. Thompson did the right thing and deserves recognition.
So, instead I'll chime in with "Wrong and Wronger."
