Originally posted by Memnoch: I initially didn't think so, Saz, but events of the past week have changed my mind. I'll email you about this and we can take it up with Ziroc. I will post yet again some comments I had in one of these threads which got quite heated: I know most of you love a good spirited debate, since most of you are quite strongly opinionated, if somewhat tactless about expressing opinions, serenely confident in your righteousness and in the other's wrongness. I personally don't have a problem with it unless you start making snide remarks about each other which don't have anything to do with the topic at hand, since this might eventually lead to shouting profanities at each other, which then becomes my problem. However, I'm sure will not happen, given that we're all VERY good at exercising self-control, right? It's actually quite funny listening to you bang heads at each other. Make sure you don't get headaches for no reason. The two most difficult things to do on the internet are: 1) admit that you can't change the other person's point of view; and 2) accept that failing to change the other person's point of view does NOT mean you have lost the argument. And finally, argue the point, not the person. I know it's difficult to disassociate any personal dislike you may have for a person with the point or stance they are making, but do your best. It's called self-control. Let's not let great discussion threads degenerate into shouting matches.

woooo ahhh... **notes to himself** Ziz iz a dangelous man...
