That whole thread was a neat candidate for a nightly burn-and-bury action, and never be heard of again.
Thankfully, it's out now. Seriously, it was madness, I don't think most of you realize the kind of image the whole thing was projecting. That stuff must never take place again, for the sake of those of us who like civilized regular discussions and not the crazyness taking place within those posts, and for the sake of an image of seriousness too.
Cheers
