These are great points.

I wonder sometimes at how much my whole line of reasoning should matter at all. In other words: if it as you describe (and I agree with your representation of the issue) then KS can be as dickish as he wants, he's providing awesome information that I can then use as I like. His actual personality should be irrelevant.

And yet, to me, it isn't. I suppose it's deep-seated social processing at work that's hard to override.
