A few months ago, when I found BladeForums, this thread would probably have resulted in me writing off BF. It's very easy to forget to be civilized when you're behind a keyboard - I've done it myself more times that I care to admit.
We need to remember, though, one of the main reasons BF has been successful is the civil tone that is most often the rule here. Let's try to stay attractive to the new folks. If we don't, we'll be the ones losing out.
We can disagree without being disagreeable.
Welcome Michelle!
