My own "imbibing" consists of pointing out that I am refusing to imbibe the drink that's being offered to us -- because of its unfortunate taste.
As for questioning why others choose to participate in a particular thread -- that's a common tactic in the forum game -- ask 'em what they are doing here (how DARE they express an opinion) -- it's a device that's often used. It's an argument against the person, rather than against the issue.
Why am I in this thread? Simple. Because certain on-going efforts to spread poisonous negativity all around need to be resisted.
And, yes -- the situation has been resolved. Not that mere resolution is likely to end anything. It's simply too much fun -- that is, until the participants get bored with it, and move on to the next playground fight. C'est la vie.
