Hi Hornet, I was trying to avoid entering this discussion.

I just wanted to say that I truly appreciate your comments, they are always well worded and well thought out and always written in a reasonable tone.

I was just curious you have alluded a few times to some kind of "issue with the Poser Forums getting out of hand". I'm just curious when you think this began to happen. From my experience the Poser forums were always a little like the wild west. Have a look at this thread from 2003. You guessed it people arguing about Daz and Poser, people flaming and trolling each other. Request for the mods to not close this thread please. Name calling. All with seemingly no mod intervention.

I especially like this little gem, one member says to another "Ryamka you are an insignificant little flea whom if he spoke to me in person the way you spoke to me here that I would swat. Ex army rangers like me just love swatting bugs like you." It doesn't really seem to be an isolated thread either there are many like it over the years.

And another from 2012 full of attacks on Daz, some light hearted some quite aggressive and extremely negative:

From that thread "Wow 2.5 hours of a Daz thread and no serious fight yet. Is that a rendo record?"
