it may just be me, but I find that a bit selfish and hope nobody takes any offence to that. I'm always willing to defend my choice of words, and I can bet that some take things like that the wrong way as well. There has only been two guys that I really have bumped heads with alot, and I was never alone.
I've never been in a discussion about anything where two paths didn't collided at some point. And in my mind, the real men stand up for themselves, it's more childish to take your toys out of the sandbox and go home.
Sure there has been some name calling (and other low blows) at points, but that is always a last resort when things get out of control. With three or four active moderators it's no surpise that things can and will get out of hand on occasion.
I wish that the experience and knowledge would take precedence and once again be the pime topic in here.
