defeat yourself without the opposition doing a thing. This is religious

Why don't you think about using your own killfile rather than arguing with
people who you find offensive or irritating?

This is after all a gardening group and unfortuantely there is less and
less gardening disussion every week. It's getting to the point where it's
almost not worth reading these days.

I couldn't agree more. The current population of "political evangelists" and
arrogant academics is quite disconcerting. We used to ask and answer
gardening questions in an attempt to help ourselves and others produce food.
Today almost everyone wants to get up on their soapbox and preach their new
religion or answer questions from a book (rather than actual experience).
This group is slowly dying, it's a real shame.
