I think Igzy has been reasonable and patient in seeing this topic develop. At the beginning I tried to keep everybody corralled within the original 4 points, but as usual you guys never want to keep corralled! One reason I like everybody to stay on topic(q) is it has a tendency to act as a safeguard against food fights. I'm not calling whats going on here a food fight, there are much deeper issues and I don't have time to address them right now.
What I will say is that I have a big problem with posts that are designed to stop or slow down the conversation. This is done with being argumentative, throwing out red herrings and deliberately acting as if a poster has not made himself perfectly clear. I don't mean we have to agree with each other, but it is disrespectful to be constantly misunderstanding on purpose.
Gotta go.
Help me, help you.

Could the poster who started the thread then have more say over the thread?
Thus
Igzy would have more "say" in this thread, and
ZNP would have more "say" in the Nabal - Abigail thread which he started?
I hate to see someone get lambasted for his or her peculiarities in posting. Personally, I like a lot of ZNP's posts and insights, but I understand that he can be frustrating at times. You'all can say the same thing about me too.
Forums, by nature, seem to ratchet up the "temperature." It's unfortunate, but it is the nature of the beast.
