Gentlemen,
I hate removing threads. We try to let things go, in hopes they will 'fizzle out' or be resolved. Every time we remove something we get cries of censorship. So be it.
Personal attacks, no matter how thinly veiled, will not be tolerated, from anyone.
Disagreements are normal. They will happen as long as their are strong personalities. Everyone involved has been asked to take these things to private messages or email.
We cannot, and WILL NOT allow these forums to be disrupted by this kind of thing.
Everyone has something to share that someone else can learn from. This is true whether it is the 20 year vet, or a one week wonder. Each may have learned something new, or unique, that will benefit the forum. Each is entitled to post their insights. Some post short, concise, posts that are 'just the facts', others tend more towards the verbose, elaborating on details that, while to some may be overdoing it, to others, these simply make the story more enjoyable.
Please understand, though you may not agree with everything everyone posts, they are posting from their viewpoint. The smart poster is able to read through all, and gather what they need, and take the rest simply as it is written, someone’s opinion.
The problem lies when one poster, or group of posters, become obsessed with proving another wrong. This is when the forum degenerates.
Please take this as notice that from now on, all personal attacks will be deleted without notice, and those who post them, risk having their posting privileges restricted, or ended.
I for one, do not want this, as I believe there is much to be learned from all, newbie or long time vet.
Please, lets keep it civil.
