Grr.. I got closed out by the server and had a post all ready to go here...well this is less copiously or brilliantly worded, but here goes;

I'm going to assume for now that Dirty Meg got the message (considering it was posted by two mods and several members). If the issue re-surfaces, we'll deal with it. For now, let's close it and go on.

Yorick, I fully understand and agree- you can't call people incestuous for disagreeing on the topic, heck I'd fit that bill if it were so. But I'd like to see honest debate and discussion continue if people are amenable to being respectful and if not, we can close the thread and or sanction as needed. DM is new to the CE scene and I've given warning on personal and generalized insults so let's move on.


Now, having seen the additional posts since I got locked out... I'm adding this: Yorick and Dirty Meg, please take any personal disagreements to PM. If you'd like to comment on the topic of the thread and not each other, or the supposed parentage or lack of intelligence of the other or implied criticism by the other.. .well you got the idea.. then please go ahead and post on topic.

Illumina has requested the thread be closed and while I'm loathe to close one that's got some respecful discussion and debate going, I won't hesitate to close it if it gets personal, ugly or so off the mark that those who want to discuss the topic are shut out by the in-fighting.

Dirty Meg, one last thing. I realise you are relatively new here, if your post count is any indication, but one hallmark of Ironworks is that we don't go for each other's jugular in a debate and sarcastic personal comments on someone's intelligence or lack thereof aren't common because most people consider them flamebait. So please argue the topic and not the person. Check the sticky threads at the top of the forum index if you need an indication of what's ok and what isn't.
