Well, this keeps the arguments, name-calling, goading, and general asshattery in a more or less confined space. I think its a necessary evil.

The good thing is that if you want to come here for advice or to check one someone's project, you dont have to sift through posts like these. Then again, if you're looking for a spot of light reading during lunch, this stuff makes for decent entertainment.

Site admins exist for a good reason. I run my own forums too, and I make sure that things go as smoothly as possible. Nobody particularly cares for people in any sort of position of authority - especially when they excersize that authority. How many of you liked your high school principal, or that cop who gave you your first speeding ticket?

Since these threads are mostly going to be people lambasting one another in heated debate (or just good-old-fashioned name calling) I dont see much loss in flushing it once in a while. If there's anything truly useful, I'm sure someone could take that information, and put it in a thread without so much anger.

Next comes the part where someone calls me a kiss-ass...
