My point was that now that those nauseatingly repetitive posts and counter-posts are gone, all the cogent commenters have also gone.

No, I'm pretty sure that was my point. Your point was that it was lots of "lively" fun to play with trolls.

It really isn't difficult to understand why the cogents haven't come back. The very same deplorable trolls repeatedly return and everyone else has had enough.
