Thanks for the responses.

I understand that disagreements are part of life and I welcome them. I would much rather see the discussions with opinions being stated and intelligent rebutals. All to often it seems that it just boils down: "This guys sucks..." or "You don't know what you are talking about so, STFU. . ." and the like.

I look at it this way. I am a father of 4 children. I don't mind if my kids have a difference of opinion. As long as they air them in a civilized manner. As a matter of fact, I rather enjoy to the process of a good disagreement among family. It draws us closer together and we gain a view point that we may not have had before. But when it boils down to name calling, degridation and words that are intentionally made to cause pain to a sibling that where I draw the line. I would hope that I could call the people that tract along the same martial art philosophy, "Family".

This post was aiming more inwardly then outwardly. I just think that we could be using our energy more efficiently. The in-fighting is just very frusterating.
