But sometimes they end up rolling off into personal accusations - some of which are so mistaken they're just plain incorrect.
Sometimes people play devil's advocate and present the question in such a way as to draw out the thinking of people they may disagree with - perhaps to better understand that thinking, or maybe just being slightly trolly, a little mischievous.

That quote has been useful to me. It gives me a chance to STOP from putting my foot in my mouth.
Theoretically that should be enough. Run whatever air you have through a cooler and pump it in. the cold air try to sink lessening or ideally stopping the chimney effect of the cyclone.

You don't know they are there until you step on one. There is no warning. All of a sudden KA BOOM! Yikes, egads, gadzooks and good grief! :(
