I agree with your breakdown of this and it is fairly stated. I also 
thank you for re-emphasizing that the commentary was well intentioned 
and much appreciated.  Again, some comments, which may have been very 
well intentioned too, look like editorializing and betray a bias 
strongly enough that one has to believe they are from the same person. 
That was the threshold for me.  I think it was the wrong place to 
indulge in this and justifyably warrented some criticism. Myself, I was 
ready to let it go. But St. reacted and I believe his original feeling 
of anger, at least, was valid. So I made the decision to not let him 
twist alone since I had experienced the same reaction. Now I have stated 
my criticism. I only wished to raise the level of awareness. Nothing 
about this is so egregious to be worth any more of our time here. Like 
Gilles and yourself I am now only interested in manning the firehose.

I will state only one thing further.  I truly regret that any particular 
picture was drawn into the discussion.  In my mind it was never, ever 
about particular pictures.
