Pug, I for one believe you are doing an admirable job in less-than-admirable 
circumstances. I am very favorably impressed with how well you have managed 
to keep your own opinions under control, instead of just jumping into the 
flame wars feet first in defense of a friend. (Not that I would have faulted 
you for doing it if you had. There's nothing wrong with jumping in to help a 
friend when you see a wrong being done to them and when they are 
outnumbered. In fact, it's an admirable trait.)
