Oh there is a few good reasons here from EU why some refuse to respond 
to these 'discussions';
- Our critical input often does not appear here
 - Whatever diplomacy used, as soon as we seem to *touch someones 
personal toy-preference* we get bad mouthed by US hams, describing our 
view as the worst on the planet, calling us names etc.  (that kind of 
content is NOT moderated by the way)
- Similar experiences was confirmed by others to me off-line
 For me, I was able to put things back in sync positively with those via 
direct mail; there is no fulfillment in a maintaining  a dispute, let 
alone calling names, ever.
However, I do refrain from entering discussions where those few here who 
rule it all and are not willing to accept there are hams with a 
different opinion. Live and let live.
Rather go contesting.
Enjoyed a GREAT 160m CW  weekend.
Hope you all enjoyed it too.

 Is there a reason why every active contest station outside North 
America and Europe doesn't regularly post their operating 
preferences/practices/biases to this reflector like Charlie does? Are 
they just too lazy or is there some other reason why Charlie seems to 
be the only one?
