Shame on you, Jim. Being a renowned authority does not give you the right to be a domineering bully. Are we supposed to be cowed into respectful submission? You can't come into the ring throwing punches and then cry foul and turn petulant when one is returned. On your site - <A HREF="http://www.chowhound.com/main.html" target="_new">http://www.chowhound.com/main.html</A> - (which is positively bristling with Message Boards and has a lot of verbose faqs, guidelines and explanations) you say, "While chowhounds can sometimes be wise guys (it comes with being opinionated), we welcome anyone who sincerely wants to throw away their Zagat safety net and join our intrepid quest. ... Then, once you do voice your opinion, stand your ground! Just because your preference may be unpopular, that doesn't make it wrong. We love strong opinions, but taste is, in the end, a subjective thing."
So no spitting and hair pulling; step up to the line and let's have a good clean fight.
BTW Your users look pretty bright to me. Are you sure you aren't underestimating them?
