I'm sorry, John, I don't see cylon being petulant or evasive or snide, particularly not his post I think you were referring to, the one with the music link. I see light-hearted playfulness and kind of a joke, not even a rib-nudging one, just sweet. I think there is room for that in rational discussion. It's not so much off-topic as just cryptic to someone who is holding tightly to his perspective.
Other than guiding folks to follow Steve's posted rules, I can't and don't want to control how people express themselves. That would only limit me.
So, what do you mean by telling me "~~><::> ><;;>"? I'm not sure I understand, unless you're expressing petulance or snideness.

Is there something else in there?
