On that note, I think we'll lock the thread.

There was a great hope for this thread to allow for a working out and understanding as some have called for in the past. However, there's a limit to which we can allow another member, or members, to be hurt/attacked/upset in the process and in a public manner.

If something becomes personal for you, sit back for a second and think about it past the initial reaction. If it still feels personal, PM the member or a mod/admin.

We, as members working to maintain a wonderful website like this, all having a role and responsibility here. We have a responsibility to ALL this site's members. When we bring the personal to the public forums and drag everyone who happens to click on the thread into the yuck (even the new members), it doens't feel good to most.
