They're both knuckleheads!
Let 'em blow steam with this blather. I'm trying to understand each side, but I'm not having much luck. Are they fighting amongst themselves in a public forum. or are these posts real arguments to get me to agree with either one of them?
Hmm.. yes, obviously fighting. As for swaying me with eloquence and the power of logic and rhetoric, they're both doing real bad in that respect.
In fact that's what's missing, respect! You guys (GothicInventor and danoschek) are just wasting eveyone else's time with these type of posts. I really don't care, but it appears that some readers here do. It has humor to me to watch this kind of fighting. I also like the Three Stooges type of humor, so I'm not sure if getting me to laugh at one's posts is a good thing or not.
Come on Thad, they got you to post in response. This is a fairly quiet board without them posting to it. Since I was installed as moderator this board has had a dearth of posts until yesterday. I suppose we'd all like a higher quality of posts, but we get what we pay for.
Which is better? No posts at all, or these recent posts? I can delete them all, or edit them, or do nothing. What'll it be? Neither one of them are swearing, and some of the things in their posts actually are informative. I see no reason to do anything about them. In the future, when I scroll back to this page, it'll be interesting to see just what will have happened here. If the personal attacks take a nasty tone or if the posts get so far off the subject of this particular board that something has to be done or we'll be in danger of losing members, then I might be moved to act. Pushing the envelope will probably be what's going to happen next since this will be perceived as a weak action, but I will hope that it doesn't go that route. I'm not much for censorship. I will do what I can to not edit anything of other people's posts.

A saying that seems appropriate.

It is better to remain silent and to be thought a fool...
...than to speak and remove all doubt.
