This all boils down to respect for others. In the example on the DAZ forum, the op asked a genuine question in a respectful way. I'm sure if the questions had been posed in the tone of some non-poser users on this thread, such as "why do all you cheapskates who can't afford poser think DAZ is better?" (and let me make it clear, this is not my opinion of DAZ users), then the responses would have been quite different. Some people make it appear from their language that they have no intention to make any sort of positive contribution and have no respect for other users of the thread. Freedom of speech should never mean freedom from responsibility, and if someone exhibits lack of respect to others, then in my opinion they deserve all the flak they get.
