You are right, it is not ok. The wording wasn't constructive or controlled at all. I'd like to apologize for that.

Thank you. Apology accepted.

At the same point, I was expressing a fair amount of frustration. I think the last discussion rounds have largely failed to produce any new meaningful insight (to the point that I've stopped reading several subthreads). IMO the best thing for now would be to "agree to disagree", let things bake in everyone's mind for some time, and revisit the subject in some weeks.

For the most part I agree. I did, though, finally figure out what Nick thought I wanted, so there was at least a little progress.

But yes, I think tabling the discussion for now, and working on Brett's ideas, is entirely appropriate.
