Ohhhhhh K.

Time for everyone to take a deep breath, smoke some if ya got it, and CALM DOWN THE $%*& down. Seriously. The last few days the tone of comments has been one of attack rather than discussion. I will even look in the mirror and include myself in that, in addition to... well... pretty much all of us on here.

I think we all need to keep in mind that what gets posted on here becomes public record, and we are not helping the development community by putting "quotables" that the anti-development folks can use.

Let's all, me included, stick to what should be the goal of this forum which is to work in a positive fashion towards improved development/design, rather than focussing on negatives.

The best way to counter an argument isn't to say why they are wrong, but to demonstrate why your point is correct. Subtle but important difference.

NB: Please note that I am not directing this at any one individual or individuals, and am blaming myself just as much as anyone else when I go back and look at some of my own posts this week.
