AOG......ALL interesting threads, especially the lengthy ones are highjacked, almost always by the same people. We use to call them" cliques" and that would promote lengthy and contentious debates, but now i suppose they are called "anti-AOG" or "anti-Islay " or wherever the "cliques" smell blood. This frenzy of insults and "anti" behavior has always charactesized AB and always will, the answer being put up with it or leave......many having done the latter.
