[quote user="ValleyX"] <p>Years ago, TRAINS had a columnist that could get me tuned up on a regular basis, how many of you have been around long enough to have read John Kneiling, "The Professional Iconoclast"? Today, when I go back and re-read what few columns I have access to, I understand exactly what he was trying to say. </p><p>I can only imagine the debates, outrage, and yes, topic lock-ups that his column would have produced, were it today. </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Yes the thought of Kneiling did occur to me as I saw this controversy unfold. He made a science of upsetting apple carts, grinding axes, goring oxen, and stepping on toes. He was a professional iconoclast after all. Our society seems to be gradually accepting the premise that merely having a strong opinion is offensive.</p>
