I'm not fighting Mark's battles here because we all know we can do that himself, but is all of this holier than thou stuff really necessary?
At the end of the day we all come here to contribute where we can, share knowledge and occasionally have a laugh, not for a lecture on what's right or wrong.
Its all good moaning that this place ends up looking like an episode of eastenders on a Saturday night, but without the odd bit of drama this place would as dull as anything. The alternative is no one posts anything other than stuff that is dead on topic, and I know for one that discussing such things isn't how I want to spend my Saturday night.
Nobody has been hurt, no harm done, I don't get the judging that goes on in this forum. Whether that's got something to do with your relationship in relation with the 'in' crowd, I don't know. I just don't see the fuss myself.
