: There is no such thing as society,
: There is no such thing as a free lunch,
: And there is no such thing as a useful and sensible discussion with someone who calls others insane for not sharing his beliefs,
: Or uses the words right-wing, left-wing, conservative, liberal or socialist as terms of abuse.
: And obviously no such thing as insight with suchlike people.

After Coming to this board and reading the very interesting debates posted over the last couple of weeks concerning Vances' Philosophy and Likely politics; I find the above post by Martin incredulous. You seem to think that anybody who posts a strong or reasoned viewpoint which u don't agree with as a Personal attack and then reply with vitrol.
I suspect the Spell of Forlorn Encystment is suitable in this case :)
