Quote - *But I must say, I do get tired of all the aggressive prosyletizing and denigration which seems to come from the "realism" camp.

then don't read the threads .. it's very simple you decide what you read and don't read.*

Well, that's tantamount to saying "if you don't like what your political opponents are saying at the town meeting, then don't go to the meeting."  This is the kind of "shut up and keep your thoughts to yourself while the rest of us say what we think" that is the hallmark of this kind of prosyletizing. 

And let's be clear, this IS a political debate.  Politics is all about competition between interested parties, and in a polygon-constrained 3D world, the allocation of polygons to base meshes is an area of conflicting demands.  If I want to push back against those who insist on base meshes which match their preferences but conflict with mine, that is my right.  I simply want to make sure that Daz and other figure designers see that the "realism evangelizers" aren't the only interest group in the room.
