Fair enough---actually, you're not big enough, and far from tough enough, to
pick on me---even with some Jeff Ross training.     :)

The sentence in question was meant to highlight my opinion that some true
believers tend to go too far down Dogma Drive and then endlessly curse
everybody and everything when they're forced to back up.  They fail to look
within themselves and recognize that even though the diet may not have worked
for them, it may work for others.  Those that have been down dietary dead-ends
can at least be friendly to beginners like Wes when they try to point out
pitfalls.

Wes has been cursed enough here.  For instance, to tell him that his arguments
are "entirely illogical" is crude, rude, and abusive.  I want to see Wes as a
major asset to this list, not chased off, filled with anger, and swinging,
naked, in a tree.
