You mean along the lines of, "why can't we all just get along?"  
(Sorry, I just finished watching "Riot," and I couldn't resist.)

Frankly, although I'm beginning to find all this quite entertaining, 
(Certainly not the image of librarians I (and I'd venture to say most people) 
had of people in the profession.) it doesn't look any more likely in 
this situation than it did when Rodney said it.

But all told, there's been no bloodletting yet (ah, the wonders of 
cyberspace!), so little harm's been done.

Then again, we're probably not going to resolve this issue at this 
juncture, so we could just agree to disagree for now.

Anyhow, a little passion is good for the soul -- so long as it's 
age-appropriate...
