Yes, I'm also sick of this negative level of civility. If I don't preempt it 
now, I'll likely be told that I'm taking the above two quotes out of context 
and that I'm just spreading FUD, but I don't believe the context really 
changed from the outset.

Ciaran's analogies are always outrageous, condescending and greatly 
accentuated. Specifically, his intention is never to help the person he is 
replying to, but rather to show them that they are wrong. He believes that is 
purely up to the person that he is replying to whether they learn from it or 
not. There's a 100+ comment bug about this, though, which ended up with his 
dismissal so discussing it further won't help any.
