I personally didn't think that thread was getting bad. Other than LadyRae's first post which she apologized for, there was no flaming directed at anyone on the thread. In fact I thought it was actually quite positive - Shadowstrider just wanted to show us a face of TeamBG that maybe we hadn't seen before, and he's entitled to mention that, and others are entitled to disagree - just as long as nothing gets personal.
I'm sorry to see LadyRae go, but overall, I thought we covered some important issues there.
