You sound like you’re taking this personally. You shouldn’t. I understand that this is a touchy subject for you as it is for me. We’re just on opposing views. I am not name-calling, nor am I going to be baited into it.
Because this “battle” has been going on for a loooong time, and it’s been made clear in the staff responses about where COG stands on it. Hey, if the company decides to change its mind, I’ll be one of the first to cheer it on. 
I feel that there are a lot of valid reasons the COG would need to reconsider their stance on this particular issue, and those are all in those other Save threads. Perhaps, in time, a good compromise can be reached. I really hope for that.
