Ultimately it comes down to needing more moderation.
I am as guilty as anyone of acting poorly on here at times. I need to be moderated, and for the most part, I am. Even when I bitch to ueber or NAB about it, I can still understand that I am behaving unreasonably, however justified I think I am for doing so.
More mods, less crappy posts, less bickering, more original content, and this place will grow.
Like I said, the goal should be having one moderator on at basically all times. When people know that the mod is watching their posting, they behave better. It encourages self-moderation, which in turn, encourages reasonable, productive debates.
