I hate to be the one to say it, but I think it might be time that this thread gets closed. I'm not sure the original premise was positioned in a way that allowed for good discourse, and while the responses started out reasonable, it didn't take long for them to evolve into teasing and personal attacks, which are generally only good for getting people to shut down. I don't think the OP is trying to troll everyone, but I'd appreciate if the conversation shifted towards a more positive tone.
