Yeah its a shame. This thread does have a few interesting and uselful points in it. And the original purpose was a good one. I had to archive the thread I mentioned earlier of my own due to people not discussing it proper.
People please read pinger's recently posted thread

People what you post is up to you. How it affects everyone else is also. Getting angry at people and flaming never achieves anything, and angry people can never resolve the issue properly.
Please at least try to hide your anger, and when you type out a big ass flame filled post, have a read at the end. Try to see it from all other points of view, think about what consequences will arise (no I don't mean a mod telling you not to flame, I mean think about what will happen in the thread as a result of your post) and decide if you really want to post up abuse.
If you still do, go for a walk, find a happy place, talk to Buddha or fucking anything and then come back and think again. If you still want to flame; piss the fuck off, you fucken arsehole
See how nasty and horrible that is?
No-one wants to have to read that sort of thing. Bluelight is here for information, discussion, fun, unity and friendship.
Think about why you first came here and what you wanted then. I'm guessing information for 99% of people. Well you also found a community. The majority of the community is still here for information, (and many remain for the community also) and when we're feeding off this information and contributing and socialising and befriending we really don't want to read abusive remarks that hinder the process.
I may have painted a picture of a faery land with rainbows and green gardens and shit. I'm sorry, I'm babbling on about a great passion in my life, and.... I do believe I'm a little cracked out
but tone down the flowers and rose petals a little and you're there. This place was something special once, and I really don't want to sound like an old-skooler pining for days gone by, but it is slipping.
For the good of all of the bluelight community, please folks, keep it civil and nice?
