Brian's message and like messages upthread are off-topic. I SUGGEST that such discussion go to the
Mythology with real places & people topic.
I'm going to temporarily close this topic, to insure this topic diversion ceases. When someone is ready to continue the topic in an on-topic manner, post a reopen request at the "Thread Reopen Requests" topic, link below in the "signature". Please supply a link back to this topic if you make such a request.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
