I am saddened by the quality of the discussion here. The approach is not constructive and does not motivate me to partake in this discussion any longer.

A basis for a civil discussion is respect. Both sides need to have the ability to hear all the participants and take their opinions into account. If one side is just ignoring the other, attacking it and making preposterous accusations based on nothing but imagination, a lack of respect is obvious. I do respect our users and I give everyone the same opportunity to have their voices heard, but when a lack of respect is shown toward me, I feel no need to give any either. Since I will not stoop to such low level of disrespectful banter as I have read here, I rather choose to say nothing.

Feel free to continue your discussion here, I will not close the thread, but will not participate either. If anyone else wants to have a more mature, constructive and meaningful discussion in a new thread in this forum, please make a new thread.

I don't know who deleted post 151, probably his eminence himself. In any case, if people can't see post 151 because it's deemed off topic or ad personam, I ask that post 149, which 151 was a direct reply to, is struck from the thread for precisely the same reasons.

That post is offensive to me and it is also stating things about me which are false. I have a problem and criticise Marin's honesty/ability, I don't think there is any conspiracy. Besides, post 149 doesn't have a single line connected to the topic of this thread, not even incidentally.

Let's see if some of you fellows actually have the guts to enforce the policy in the same way for everyone.

Still off topic, but thank you. You have my respect.

They don't have mine. Switching your query about 151 to make it read 152, then showing you 152 and not 151, is childish and a deliberate provocation. It saddens me to see how this thread, which started out discussing a serious topic, has deteriorated. It is hard to see who is abusing it the most. No one is exactly covering himself in glory in this thread any more. Marin would do well to not only close it but delete the entire thread. Imagine the impression of a new manager reading this thread -- it would remind him of his kindergarden days.

As Marin suggested, there is a thread elsewhere to discuss the matters civilly.
