I checked out the thread....Be prepared to stand your ground and express yourself..People had different opinions..You defended yours...I just ignore the ones who fire off...There are always other threads to join!..
Wow I have had a lot worse said to me and sometimes ignore, sometimes stand and defend, sometimes end up laughing at the "my way or the highway" bunch....There are valid points on both sides of the issue..
I agree with you however, I don't believe insulting people is the right way to argue your point. If the old timers do not want "newbies" to post than that should be part of the rules. They should also not take any new members. These attacks on new people to this site are uncalled for and could possibly hurt this site. Eventually all you will have is people debating themselves because no one will want to be attacked for their views.
