Well I think MASHfreak has a lot going for him. Specifics of the argument aside, he has taken an interest in the topic, questoned and -most importantly- not allowed himself to be beaten down. He may be wrong, he may be right, frankly, I don't care. What he is, is true to himself, not afraid to speak out and not willing to be told "because I said so" by his elders. Many an internet veteran would have slunk away by now.
....And thank goodness he's not my child.
