Trolling? Come on. Is that what you say when you have a disagreement with someone. Not fair on your part.
Nope. Only when the "debate" is obvious troll-bait. This is no longer a useful thread, and IMO should be moderated into oblivion.

Jon, I think you are being unfair here. Tom has put several years of hard work into Boost, including preceding me as a Review Wizard, where he served for a few years, and managing a few reviews. I honestly believe that he is trying to start a discussion that he hopes will help Boost. That is not the same thing as saying I agree with him. I wrote an over long post elsewhere in this thread expanding on one point where I disagree. In general, I am much more tolerant of both templates and the use of the preprocessor than Tom is. I think that is an honest difference of stylistic opinion between us, and is in no way trolling. It may be uncommon in current US society, but I find it quite easy to strongly disagree with someone on some topic that is important to me, but still like and respect that person. John
