Nothing better than a vigorous exchange of views! The board is not just to help newbies, it's to share information and that includes debate and discussion. someone puts forward an opinion or a viewpoint, (hopefully) backed by some sort of logic, and others will either agree or disagree. As long as this discussion remains civilized, supported by some sort of fact or logic and doesn't descend to flaming, I don't see anything wrong with it. I think swearing is ok as long as you use it to make a point and not in an angry reply to someone else and I'm sure Ziroc would agree.
When someone puts forward an inflammatory post with NO facts or logic behind it, or uses foul language to abuse someone personally, then that is clearly flaming.
Littleman is totally entitled to present his (wrong) views since it looked to me like he actually had some form of logic behind his views. just as Yorick is entitled to contradict him with even wronger views!! (and an even more detailed set of facts to support him!). Who's to say who's right or wrong? That's what the debate is all about!
