It is obvious to me that this is a heated issue with a lot of different opinions. I also see that many of you are doing your best to dance on the personal attack rule line without stepping clearly over it.
I am going to make this clear only once. I am not going to constantly monitor this thread and spend enormous amounts of my time editing out violations. I also don't want to lock this thread if it gets out of control because it will punish everyone for the actions of a few and that is not the way I like to do things unless everyone in the thread is doing it. Some of you are trying to maintain a civil debate so I will continue to leave it open.
From this moment on, this is exactly what I will do. If I see personal attacks or deliberate trolling I will warn you once officially. I will remove your entire post and store it in the moderator forum not attempt to edit it out.
For each repeated rule violation I will suspend you for 3 days for each violation.
So take heed everyone of my words starting now. They are not up for debate.
