Hey --
Hmmm. I had the same thought recently. I am a little sensitive since there was recently a UT debate over at the OP forum that got out of hand.
Personally, I am pretty open-minded about UT. I am not there yet but my reaction is not, "OMG, that's DISGUSTING!" I have enjoyed hearing what Jayson has said about it and he is someone whose experience and therefore opinion I respect.
However, I do think that when posting about a topic as strange as UT is to someone who has never heard of it before, its advocates should rely upon more of an attraction-based policy rather than a real hard sell as he/she is doing. (Plus, to me those caps he/she uses make it seem kind of hysterical.)
I think the analysis should consist of "how am I being helpful to the newcomer?". Period. And judging from the posts I have read in response to those posts, he/she is kind of freaking some people out.
Just my $.02, and I appreciate your post, too, Nick.
