Let's see ... I can win this argument, but doing so will probably split the community into warring factions with no chance of reconciliation in the future.
Or I can sit back and let Ben cheerfully paint himself as being, as always, the innocent victim of a misunderstanding that he himself bears no responsibility for. Making me look like an ass in the process.
Hmmm...I'm in an enviable position, don't you agree? Fucked if I do, fucked if I don't. Wonderful.
OK, Ben, I guess you win.
