Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, thoughts, and ways of doing business whether or not those ways or views are identical to someone else's.

I have a feeling some people are taking 'constructive criticism and disagreements' as personal attacks when they're not that way at all, it's a discussion and shouldn't have to turn into an argument.

Rbrooks nobody is taking sides, nobody is on 'your' side or 'his' side as far as moderation goes.

There's no way myself, Andrew or a moderator can personally control what any person decides to post here, what disagreements they have, what one person's view on a particular topic will or should be, nor do we care what one person's views on a particular subject are vs another. When conversations go from productive and on topic to arguments on a personal level, or will likely become an issue on a personal level, everything gets yanked to keep the thread valuable and worthwhile for everybody.



Imagine if when you were searching for or discussing information here, and what started as good know-how and value, turned to negative back and forth half-way through the thread half the time.

This is YOUR forum, let's try to get along and gain value from each other's experience/opinions and stay positive, rather than take things to a personal level. If anyone has an issue with someone on a personal level, personal or business, do it via email, not via PM and not on the forum.

I'm finding lately that more often than not, what's being reported as abuse is NOT bashing or personal attacks at all, but rather a simple and civil disagreement that might actually be one that others can benefit from and that's how it should be.

The motherboard pricing discussion that got cleaned up in another thread, I thought was good discussion and both sides had valid points, which was great UNTIL it started becoming an argument on a personal level.


99% of the time, that's why posts get deleted. Besides that it's advertising or spam.

With your kind permission Admin I think it would be great to restart the motherboard discussion....There is a lot of confusion out there in that area and I believe that some need to have that information laid out for them. There are changes in the industry everyday and getting that information out there will help everyone involved.

I agree.
