Ok guys, I am going to step in here for a bit. I want to remind you guys of the RCU Community Rules and what they say about the topics of a thread:
TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:
Although discussion forums encourage a wide range of opinions, please keep your posts focused on the topic of the thread and related to the forum you are submitting your message.
If you pay attention to what I have highlighted you will notice that is says that each thread has a topic and that thread needs to stay on that topic. Now I've been moderating RCU long enough to know that some leeway needs to be given, and I do give leeway to threads such as these..... especially here in the AMA forum where a discussion can sometimes get very heated. Often times a thread can get off topic when the members get into the heat of the discussion, but a gentle nudge from me will usually get that thread back on topic and will usually require no further actions from myself. However, this thread has gone completely off the rails and now is nothing more than just a knock down drag out between a few members and it resembles nothing at all of the original topic that started off. I received a report ticket that brought this thread to my attention and the person that reported the suggested that I close the thread since it was so far off topic. I would prefer to not do that if I can avoid doing that. So guys let's stop the petty bickering and let the thread get back to the topic at hand. And if the there is nothing left to discuss of the original topic then the thread will simply slip down the forum list as I prefer to allow threads to do as they age normally over the course of time. Now if you guys can't find a way to stop your petty bickering I can stop it for you, trust me on that one.
