To those making personal attacks: You are loosing site of the forrest through the trees. We do not benefit from silencing people, even ones you disagree with. Even posters I disagree with most of the time, do offer an intelligent perspective or usefull information on occaision, or at least ignite discussion which gets same. If someone makes a comment you dispute or dont agree with, respond and point out why you think their post is incorrect. If others agree with your perspective, it will have a much greater impact then just resulting to insulting comments about the original poster.

To those getting personally attacked: Toughen up. Saying "Im taking my ball and going home" doesnt benefit anyone, including you. If you dont post your thoughts or information anymore, you dont get to hear others perspectives. Either ignore the insults or defend yourself.

This forum still has value if we all share our ideas and perspective. The more the better. There is bound to be some head butting and bickering with this type of forum but we dont need to dwell on it. IMO
