"Several people this thread have made good points about the difference between "debate" and "argument." Reasonable, non-abusive "bickering" and "argument" are NORMAL, sometimes even healthy, and above all, inevitable. The more the mods act like babysitters or cops, the more this forum is degraded."

Agreed (boy do I agree) and when the TOS has been used subjectively we have the right to ask what appears to be juvenile questions. I dissagree with whomever suggested these questions were juvenile. Is that against the TOS now? If a merchants name is brought up in a complaint post about their file formats does the merchant have the right to defend themselves?

Spike, I have a lot of respect for you so nothing personal but the only way you'll be clear enough is if you get rid of the poser forum, leave it at Poser technical and the galleries and then the community aspect will have truely been taken out of this site. Like Xonocastle says, disagreements are inevitable. It's going to happen. But the reason other sites don't have the problems this site has is because people are not babysat. Mods don't enter a civil but involved disscussion and state that they're "watching". Something to think about.
