Elliot. It may or may not surprise you. But there are many things that I
agree with you on, and disagree with Robert. (eg I believe he tends to
overstate the motivation for OO as dependency management. Whereas, for
me, OO is more about conceptually modelling coherent sets of behaviours
that can be assigned to a well-defined entity. Which, if I understand it
right, is closer to your position than his.)

But that has nothing to do with how I (and, I suspect, Patrick) deals
with Robert. I believe you'll find we deal with courtesy. Just take a
look at the discussion between myself and Matthew Heaney. We absolutely
disagreed. But neither of us called names at each other.

PS: Who Patrick agrees or disagrees with has nothing to do with his
proposed moderation duties. But when people simply name call, I hope he
does return the post.
