Where have these discussions taken place among 'lots of people'?

Sure Sean has raised a few controversies lately and he even had the 
temerity to suggest that Guy was wrong, but that doesn't merit this 
anonymous missive.  Controversy can be a positive thing if it causes us 
to question our assumptions...  and one would suspect that there might 
be a possibility that Guy might someday prove to be fallible ;-)

But this kind of post is just uncalled for.  As has been suggested, use a 
killfile if you want.
