First, let me remind everyone of the rules of engagement on this forum - please refrain from personal attacks. This thread is well on its way to tearing itself asunder without any additional push.
Regardless of your position or personality, we are all here and for our own individual reasons we all keep coming back to this forum. So, while we are all here together, we should do our best to help one another not tear others down.
So I encourage everyone (including me) to get out into the topics and help where you can! Promote yourself if that is your desire - God knows that if we don't promote ourselves, no one else will do it for us. But I think that with everything we "receive" from this forum, there comes a responsibility to "give back".
That is what makes us a community. Without it, we are just a bunch of nut artists focused on our own self-interests looking for opportunities to snipe at others - that is not the community we want to build.
