I don't think many in this discussion group are checking IDs. This is an open discussion and anyone who respects the basic guidelines and has something worthwhile to say is welcomed.
I was taught in grade school that education is less about accumulating info than it is about learning how to think. And essential to that is understanding why you think what you do, where ideas come from.
Are you just passing stuff along, or are you generating new and original ideas? If you are passing stuff along, do you scrutinize its merit or just who wrote it? The opposite of the ad hominem attack is the blind acceptance of stuff based on some reverence for the author.
My least favorite saying is "it's all good."* One of my favorites is "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." **
