Dear OP,
Thank you for your well spoken post. Please do not be discouraged by the hordes of cynics. These people sustain themselves on destroying anything they can with their weapons of choice, hyperbole and ignorance.
Please understand that these people cannot help themselves because they honestly believe they are right. No matter how hard they troll, these people never create anything. They are quick to whine and complain but shy away from actually doing something.
bravo, sir
