Listing prior discussions is not a reprimand suggesting we can't discuss it again. It's a service to the community to let us see what's already been said, if we so desire.
No sides as afar as I am concerned. I just pick the best tool for the job. I love ORMs. I love plain SQL, be that via an ORM "jail break" or a lower layer.
Both sides continue to distrust the other, though.
