I am sorry the guy is having problems but to be honest its not a tragic loss to me. I mean i am not gonna worry about it. I can understand the need for help and a lot of the memebers will go out of their way to help but saying tragic loss to us all sounds like someone is trying to lay a guilt trip on everyone.
Preface: Not pointed directly at you BaseballMan. Your response was merely a convenient platform from which to base my thoughts.

And I thought, what with the obvious exceptional mathematic skills many of you possess, and the extraordinary amount of practiced riposte excercised within these forums - there would exist, as well, the ability to comprehend what is read with some precision.

Whether you agree or disagree, it's important - if not essential - to at least understand the premise. The title of the thread, in its context, refers to his closing comments:

IF his reasoning is followed, then the array of effect would include the ALL of community to varying degrees because each has less than what is perceived as the potential. The degrees of tragedy and loss would be open to debate, as has been clearly shown.

I really enjoy OOTP6. I relish my visit to these Forums to gather the insights, experiences, and analysis of its respected members. When a framework for a dialogue opens with regard to the State of OOTP, it seems a shame, albeit a temporary disenchantment, that the war of thoughts is waged with a variety of fruit rather than genuine engagement.
