I think what Dogberry was alluding to is that most of what most of us users saw as a negative commentary is towards one, specific, incident. Other than that, I thought it had be quite civil myself. @_@
I know generally things get very heated, but I'd like to believe that many times we can see the difference between when a) things are heading into personal attacks vs b) being passionate about it. I don't understand the stance that even passionate or heated, even negative discussion is a bad thing.

If you want to vent, do it there since nothing can be done by posting it here."
Please, do not try to control the discussion on this website. I like it, and would like to continue using it, but I won't if I'm going to be told what subjects I can discuss, even if I'm following Rule Number One.
