Regardless of your stats, you know as well as I do that the stadium has become a "remember Pearl Harbour"-esque rallying point for various circles in the community including many RTHers and fellow travellers. The vitriol, meanwhile, in which that debate was steeped has now become commonplace surrounding other issues. In essence, the polarizing effect of the stadium has led to a heightened sense of "us vs. them" with regards to other concerns, one example of which is the toxic waste mentioned above.
As for my rude and insulting tone, I would point out that what I have said pales in comparison with other posts on this site: the only difference being that because they were directed at Bob Young/City Hall/Motorists/various local figures, etc, they are apparently exempt from scrutiny. It would seem that a hallmark of many RTHers is that they, as Schopenhauer said in his "The World as Will and Representation", dish it out, but they cant take it.
Lastly, I have nothing against RTH or "progressives" per se (though I'd prefer that Hamilton not turn into some kind of second rate Williamsburg). There are plenty of smart folks around. There are also, however, people who think that they've got the world by the balls because they read a couple of articles on urban planning while they were doing their humanities undergrad or C++ courses or whatever.
Anyhow, this is becoming a thread hijack, so as per the recommendations of TnT, lets return it to the topic of waste.
