Fair enough.  However, you do have a tendency to show up in discussions
that have high flame and/or bikeshed potential.  It is difficult enough
to resolve such issues (and reach consensus) with few people involved.
The more people take part, the harder it gets.  If the people taking
part in the discussion are not directly concerned with the issues
at hand does not make things any easier.

You have said it yourself:

  Warning: Simply because I argue an issue does not mean I agree with
  any side of it.

And I have seen you argue in such a fashion many times.  You will have
to forgive me if I sometimes cannot tell real concern, curiosity and
arguing for the sake of arguing apart.

Your contributions about English style and grammar are very much
appreciated, as are any possible future contributions.  Nonetheless,
when you start playing an active role in flamewars, I feel you are
stepping out of your territory.

I know it is difficult to say this without being insulting, but this is
my opinion and I know it is shared by at least Mans and Baptiste.

best regards
