And for that reason rather than complain about it i'll stay well away from this part of the forum.

This may be true in some cases, but I disagree that it is an overall bad thing. A lot of people do not know how to keep it from getting too personal. Sleepy Jack and I, for example, rarely agree on anything in the political climate. I still value his opinion and input because he is well informed and level headed. Now your WendyCal types are the ones that ruin it. They refuse to understand that people can have different ideals and morals. You just have to be willing to listen and accept other ideas.
