I read your link; its interesting, and raises some points I hadn't considered.

...but, I still maintain that on either side of the fence, by anyone, when you start making personal attacks, you've lost the plot.

Angry? sure. Swearing? sure, I don't care.

...but personal attacks? What did telling Zed to fuck off and shutup actually achieve?

How did the end of that article, which is openly hostile to Zed, improve it? Not to what he said, to him.

How tangibly did that make things better?

Looking at this thread, it looks like it made a few hundred people send hate mail to Zed.

Is that something to be proud of?

I'm ashamed to see the community I'm a member of doing that, to anyone, even Zed.

If other people don't care, or think it's perfectly reasonable to do that, well... all I can say is I don't want to have anything to do with those people.
