Guys, what's the big fuss? Everybody here should just follow the rules, members and mods alike. And while we're at it, it's good to exercise some restraint in our words, and that goes out to both mems and mods again.
The english language can be easily misunderstood when it is in written form because its tone may be not be as crystal clear as when it's spoken, thus the true intent and message is lost somehow. And our subjective opinions sometimes get in the way and make things worse than they actually are. Case in point: I believe BennyP has the best intentions in trying to point Solution towards the right direction, but the tone of his message offended Solution. Now I'm sure some of us, myself included, wouldn't have felt the same way if we were the ones at the receiving end. Why? It's because the issue is subjective, that's why. My point is, some of us may or may not be offended, but at least we can be civil and respectful to one another.
I know I'm a newbie here and I haven't contributed much, so people here may frown on me stepping up and saying these things. But hey, it's a free world and I just wanted to put my two cents in.
Cheers!
