Yes, there was a wee bit of a bun fight going on, but there was plenty of good discussion. Sadly, the products in question were are available for sale by the host of this forum. Great way to loose sales....

Yes, a couple of posters had strong opinions, one with "experience" and one with "research"

If that thread got closed, please, close every thread where there are differing opinions...

Does SW rub people the wrong way often from time to time? YES! But he is passionate, does his homework, so love him or hate him, he still has posts that are worth reading and offer value to the subject.

Does the head stud manufacturer rub people the wrong way from time to time? YES? But he has massive experience in the field and contributes to many topics with valuable experience.

Who gives a $hit if there are differing opinions and some interpersonal conflict??? Ever been in a group of people where everyone thought the same, believed the same and behaved the same?? Pretty boring uninformed group of people. Right??

Heck, I have had differing opinion with people on this forum. But most times, at the end of the day, we respect each other's opinions and positions. And even if we don't, who cares? We don't all have to be best friends...

Shame on the moderator who closed the thread...
Actually the moderator did their job. It's right in the user agreement here that personal attacks are not allowed and grounds for temporary or even permanent bans. When Scott and Henry took to calling each other stupid over and over again it was over. The moderator could have given them both timeouts. Instead they locked the thread and attempted to diffuse the situation. People can disagree without being disagreeable.
