For my part, I'll cheerfully apologize for any hostility in my comments in this thread, my intent was not to "attack" you, and I don't think I have attacked you in previous years either. In fact, this thread reminded me of an interesting passage in a Charles Rosen book that I have now dug out:
"The history of progress in music runs from the composer who thinks wrong notes are funny, as in the polytonal cadences and the whole-tone scale in Mozart's Musical Joke, to composers like Debussy who employ them seriously."
The evolution of harmony in Western music is a fascinating topic. However, one's perception of harmony, or music generally, is a deeply personal and sensitive thing (Rosen, for one, well understands this). Labeling people ignorant or wrong not only is not useful, when applied in topics like this it is more often than not itself wrong, and, more importantly, insensitive.
I am not a moderator or Bored member (and don't worry, you won't receive any more lectures from me), but I think if you keep this in mind, you won't find yourself banned and your posts deleted.
