i get what you're saying here, but if you think about it, they don't want to come on to the forum and get flamed. why would they? i mean even if most of us stay coolheaded someone who is disgruntled will start ripping and then what? its all fine and dandy for us to scrap amongst ourselves but they can't swing back really.
