I've got the archive and I promise to remove personally identifiable information in case that person objected.

Thanks, but no thanks Robert. Suffice to say that because of 'my arguments' in that other place, it became a lot quieter and more relevant to it's purpose.
You have a right to consider it unproductive .. but I don't. You do things your way, I do things my way. I think it's called democracy.

At the moment we are on the argument where no one is allowed to say that anything is illegal because only a court can say that it is illegal. Let's take that as read shall we and move on. It is beginning to feel a little like baiting, which is not a recommended activity here.

By 'baiting' do you mean provocation? .. if so, I agree with you. If provocation makes people think out of the box (I hate that expression, but it applies), or makes people reconsider their attitudes, then it is not a bad thing.
As to moving on .. that's your choice - it's not mine.
