Not sure why you all think it's "A-OK" to freely discuss what you think of me personally in an open tech forum. Positive or negative, I think this needs to end.
I am perfectly aware the discussion is right next to breaking the rules of this forum, but here, it is really nothing personal. Yes, we can close this thread but then the ideas that drives people to do what they do will still be there.
I also understand the topic we are dicussing doesn't have anything to do with VC&C, but it is a serious problem in this forum for a long time. Yes there are some who are biased towards a particular vendor, but that doesn't hurt. It starts to hurt when things get personal, which had happened right in this thread.
This isn't the first thread I kick this idea around, I understand the risk and take responsibility for bringing this issue to the surface. Keys, I don't have an issue with you, nor any issue those who disagree with you. I have problems when seeing someone personal attacking another individuals. Yes, you can handle it, you can take it, but not all individual is at capable on this issue than you. I for one, isn't as capable.
I don't know about others, but I see sense from those who I am having debate at another threads, maybe vice versa. Yes, we cannot agree on everything, but we can agree on something. I say, we can fight all day long as long as people can have mercy towards others. If it is about the topic, or an idea, it is okay to have a heated debate. Things like "He is paid" really isn't a valid argument, but had been used over and over again.
We can fight, but we can't win, in a forum war. That is fine, as long as no one feel bad for their being. Cut those types of comments and we can have healther debates.
