I do think some people here are, shall we say, less recalcitrant/more timid when it comes to the naked truth than others. But throwing out terms like "psycho" and making an analogy to a violent crime - not exactly "science" in my book.

Walter does not even understand my position. He demonstrates his lack of experience with the wider world of crappy coders. I use mdot and naming conventions and every bit of science-won experience to permit my code to co-exist with the crap. Walter's position is unable to be applied 100% of the time. Mine is. Walter is a bully and those who permit him are cowards.
