Very nicely put, Winston. I respect your sentiment, and the way you expressed it.
I think the essence of the problem here is that a lot of people feel the message coming from Dennis/Jeff, though it may be framed in a superficially positive way, is really quite negative and exclusionary. Of all the people who comment on this subject, I'm probably the most outspoken. I've been doing internet forums for a long time, and my experience has shaped my attitudes.
I apologize if when I said I want you to "use your brain" you took that as a personal slight. Though the posting was addressed to you, I was quite conscious of the fact that I was really preaching to the colloquium, as it were.
You seem like a very smart fellow. Too bad this isn't the real world; it would be interesting to step aside and speak to you in person.
Regards,
Henry
