Given what's been going on during the past few weeks in this forum, I did not feel this subject to be OT. I think Renderosity needs a "Read, Comprehend, Think First, Post Later" rule similar to that of other boards. We've slammed other members whose words were taken grossly out of context. We've crucified the innocent along with the guilty in matters of intellectual theft. We're seeming more and more to get off on fueling hostility amongst the members of this community. The kind of venom that's been popping up lately against long standing members of these forums is approaching the levels of the character assassinations taking place during the PFO/Renderosity split a few years back. A lot of talented contributors to the Poser Community were villianized in that fiasco because they took the reins and tried to pull the community together against the wishes of a few people who felt they needed to fuel the rift. I love a good heated debate as well as the next person, but flaming individual members of the community who have not done anything wrong (or intentionally wrong) is not good debate, it's mud slinging. Given what's happened to the PFO, this is one area where I honestly believe in the laws of Karma. I had to say it. However, I predict this post will end up being a yet another soapbox for more unmoderated self-righteousness.

Amen to that one brother

Would be good in some threads, that's true. If someone asks for help, he still will get fast and friendly help here, and good advice too. But if we diskuss things with money, or politics envolved things are not that easy.

I just keep picturing a scene from Mel Brook's Young Frankenstien in my head. Well said Freakachu

Think first, shoot later - excellent policy suggestion, Freaka. In the famous words of Churchill : "If you've decided to kill a man, it won't cost you anything to be polite to him." ;o)
