This thread has crossed the line from general concept to personal with the specific comments about MagiK. Although I do see that MagiK began the rebuttals, then deleted and pm'd (which is how it should be dealt with if it's a personal disagreement).
I will close it if the 'general concept' isn't the topic and personal references to members' posts or contemplation of supposed motives for posting and other potentially inflammatory comments persist.
Come on people, if you have issues with someone over any thread or post, you know you should take it to the person in question via pm or email. If you think it's a violation of board rules, you take it to a mod or webmaster, but we don't come onto a thread and start rehashing a particular person's posts or their motivation for posting it, etc. That's a little too much like some back alley gossip session, especially when the member is still around the boards.
In other words, it's not appropriate for public threads.
Keep it in the abstract. Yorick's question is a valid one if kept IMpersonal and on the philisophical track Yorick was heading toward in the beginning.
