I don't think that we should close or delete this thread. It's a good thread. No matter who it is, flaming someone when they cannot defend themselves is WRONG and cowardly IMHO. A lot of people who are now flaming weren't even here when this happened. This is just a HUGE misunderstanding because people from ALL sides lost their tempers and I can't blame anyone for it - I lost my temper too.
We need to treat people with the respect and courtesy that we would expect to be extended to ourselves - and that means NO flaming, no personal attacks, especially if you didn't know what happened and the person being attacked does not have an opportunity to defend themselves.
FWIW, I had a long chat with Ken and Lady Nightshade (and I have known Ken and LN for a little while) and found them to be fair and reasonable people. Lady Nightshade in particular is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Yesterday was just a big misunderstanding and a classic example of what happens when we all lose our tempers.
I'm trying to resolve this and would ask that if you cannot add value towards a positive solution, stay out of it. And that's an order.
