The crux of the disjoint between communities ... not to say that the AA don't have some that are of the HA persuasion ... is easily demonstrated by the response to something Atkinson says in that thread and the response by Krueger:
Atkinson:
"After all, there's no substitute for personal experience."
Krueger:
"IME many personal experiences are a total waste of my time."
That gulf will not be bridged, and the throwing of stones across the divide *is* unfortunately the *hobby* of many.
Total waste of time, yet children will play so the attempt to contain is futile.
