Maybe a "purgatory in RC teaching" would be a good idea, maybe it would be a bad idea.  Right now, I'm just thinking about the audacious move, which I oppose for its own sake, other issues aside.  The move is a separate matter from the content, since everything about it was wrong.  As for you and I, I know we disagree on some things, but that's to be expected - people disagree.  In the end it probably makes a better article.  But neither you nor I have the desire to do anything disrespectful, audacious, or flagrantly inconsiderate.    

Well, two of our big things round these parts are Be Bold and Ignore all rules.  Which is to say, whether Abtract was bold and audacious or not, there's no sense stressing over spilt milk   we should make our decisions not based on the audaciousness of the action, but on the appropriateness of the outcome.   

I sort of have mixed feelings about the whole thing myself, but I'm content to let the experiment breathe for a while, because having two pages will forestall a more pointed content dispute.  Thus far, people have been pretty gentle with you and Lima, but many people (not me) are losing patience.  To have to pages is to avoid a content dispute that would be heated, but in which your POV would almost certainly wind up on the losing end.

So, even though I agree that the move was more bold than I myself tend to be, ultimately, I think it may be a good thing.    t
