I'm going to add to what David has said here. If these silly little arguments and personal attacks don't stop I'll start putting people on Moderated Status. I am sorry that I have to come across as harsh, but there is a small group here that simply cannot discuss issues in a civil and calm manner. Instead of discussing rationally they attack those that they don't agree with. If this continues those doing this will find themselves in the doghouse.

Over the past couple of years this forum has actually been making dramatic improvements. I know that many believe that this forum is still the same old place that it used to be, but disagree. I measure this improvement by one specific yardstick, and that is the fact that over the last few months we are see lots of people that have never posted here before now participating in the discussions. This is because the garbage being spewed out by some has not been here. We're not going back to those old ways. So, if you cannot participate in a discussion without attacking others I would suggest you refrain from posting, because if the attacks continue those doing are not going enjoy what will happen.

I apologize that I have to be so harsh in the open forum, but some of the people here just seem to not get it any other way. For those that this does not apply to I do apologize.
