[pct-l] The ADZ CONTOVERSY AS IT APPEARS TO AN OUTSIDER

[montypct]

Kind of like they were all trying to tell others what to do and even what to believe?


Spiritual tresspassing.  

But, the egg thing.  Which was right.  I don't get it

Monty

Nice try, but that won't stop it.

Wikipedia offers the following description of a portion of Gulliver's 
Travels by Jonathon Swift:

"In the novel, Gulliver washes up on the shore of Lilliput and is 'captured' 
by the inhabitants while asleep. He discovers that Lilliput and Blefuscu are 
PERMANENTLY AT WAR because of differences over the correct way to eat a 
boiled egg - from the rounded end according to the Blefuscudians, or from 
the sharp end according to the Lilliputians. The supporters of the differing 
views were called "Big-endians" and "Little-endians." (These are sometimes 
incorrectly reversed in various sources; a helpful mnemonic is Lilliput for 
little and Blefuscu for big.)" [emphasis added]

Rave on Lilliputians and Blefuscudians.  Giants are amused.
