I just found the post about ToddB's ouster. Good news
. But it still doesn't change my mind about the other moderators at AR. Despite ericl's claims about not being a shill for advertisers, that forum is still being run as a marketing data source for their clients, who may or may not also be advertisers. That is the motivation behind his desire for increased forum traffic.
About argueing so long with JR, I don't know whether you deserve an award or a dope slap. I guess you did good. But I also think debating with him is about the same as argueing the benefits of screendoors on submarines.
