ODH is one of the stars of the show.
Everybody is entitled to an opinion.

And 99 times out of a hundred he has a good one.

The biggest problem is when ODH says something the like of his reference to engineers that know the theory, but have no real world application of the theory.

He is not making a personal attack.
He is making a legitimate criticism that a poster appears to have simply not backed up, expanded or clarified what they state.

It's simply using everyday speech that we all use with all it's generalities and sayings.

Too many people here get their panties twisted and start crying because they see any criticism as a personal attack.
It may actually turn into an embarrassing moment for the one who has been questioned if they cannot back up what they say, but who's fault is that?

If you put something out there, then you gotta be able to stand behind what you say, or take on board other points of view.
Just because somebody has a different point of view, does not mean they are attacking you.

And no, that is not me making a sleight against the panty wearing fraction of our community, it's just a very common way of saying what I said.
