I'm accustomed to being "invisible" to people I disagree with, but this may be the first time I've discovered I was invisible for agreeing too much.

In that discussion mine was one of the earliest replies, in which I acknowledged the evidence of a problem but disagreed with the proposed solution; offering a different solution. One quite in line with yours. The thread grew quite long, and included various viewpoints. No general agreement was reached, but positions were defended, elaborated and clarified calmly.

This new discussion seems less than completely frank about the last one, and framed like a damsel waving down a White Knight.
