As one of the more outspoken opponents of a few of the ot threads of late,
my objection isn't usually that it's ot.  It's when the topic has gotten
old.  I don't mind long threads on the nature of god.  But when a
conversations devolves to "I'm right and you're wrong" and people start
getting defensive, I start getting edgy.
