I have noticed of late a increasing amount of nasty, flaming behavior in this forum. It seems that some people when confronted with opinon not to thier liking resort to personal attack, bad language and behavior. What was once a great forum, open to ideas, helpful to many, is rapidly becoming what many other forums have become, an open sewer where respect, civility and decent behavior becomes rarer.
My suggestions, fwiw is to close the off topic/danger zone, or at the very least moderate it so that the worst offenders feet are held to the fire. It is one thing for tis behavior to be tolerated in the "danger zone" but the enevitable result is that it tends to increasingly bleed into the the general forum. The net result of this is that many well respected members just fold up thier tent and leave, leaving the rest of us without the benefit of the community of knowledge. Some of these guys find great sport in this, even to the poit of following members to other forums and flaming them there!
Feel free to accuse me of being open to censorship, but this is not a "free speach" forum, but rather it is an open forum with the intensive purpose of sharing Sprinter info.
