One persons "Figure Bashing" is another person's "Contructive Criticism ".  People here are going to always argue over the merits of a figure - it's human nature. 

People in the forums ask questions about figures and those of us who use them will chime in (hopefully based on their experiences). 

This is a "marketplace of ideas" and there will certainly be heated discussions - it beats the alternative - a forum that does not allow constructive criticism is a dead forum - See Daz or the Hivewire forums for some examples of that.
