Mr Dog,

I don't always agree with what you say, but I respect your opinion.

In this case, I agree 100% with your position.

I don't always agree with those who give their opinions here, nor do others always agree with mine, BUT the whole point of fora like these is for people to engage in discussion of a, somewhat, intellectual nature. Those who don't, can leave, or be moderated.

We are all entitled to our opinion. But no-one here wants soap boxes. We want discussion where we can have our positions challenged intelligently and, perhaps, change through valid arguments over time. I think we all want to be open to change in view, given good evidence or a good argument. NOW, if I am ever misbehaving, I expect someone (who I respect from the forum) to call me up, without disrespecting me. If you have some other agenda and want to call a spade a kite, then there are plenty of places for that. If you want to engage in true debate, particularly when related to the business specifics of Metalstorm, please come and be part of this great, diverse group of many opinions.

I am proud to have been part of the debate and want those who have contribution, even the negative (without being bashers) as well as the self confessed optiMSTs like me, to continue with the value portrayed in 99% of what is here on HC. Otherwise you may depart to the other spaces where garbage is espoused and rewarded.
