I've said it before, I'll say it again in this thread... Sorry for the current state of affairs, if I've brought you discomfort, Hex. I sincerely thank you for your tolerance of the current discussions. I personally feel they are productive - and whether others want to admit or not (or more likely deny it), we are all learning from one another.

One or two people (or 5 for that matter) are not going to bring this board down. Heated discussions are not going to bring this board down. As CoventryCat says, overmoderating, heavy handed tactics, bannings, post deletions, etc. will surely bring this board down.
