confrontationally polemical

WOW.  I think of myself as having a good vocabulary and use of the English language, but that made me hesitate to see if I could assimilate.   

I think Jbotti's post over here got a pretty good discussion with fairly passionate and interesting opinions expressed on all sides.  On the PMTS forum you're pretty much preaching to the choir-you'll get a couple of enthusiastic 'Amens!", but any real discussion will be curtailed by those who don't want to get banished.

I agree, and it was both entertaining and informative (and passionate but not personal).  What more can you ask for.  I can wish that Harald's online persona was more like his on-the-snow teaching persona, but he has never pulled any punches about his perception of the raison de'etre for that forum as a forum for his thoughts and opinions on things he perceives of interest to his "clientele".
