You're certainly entitled to hold that opinion, but there's really nothing gained by expressing it in a belittling manner. In fact, the main thing that name calling does is undermine the legitimacy of the arguments of the name caller.
All we're asking is that the discussion be kept on a mature, respectful level. No one is suggesting that everyone agree on everything (far from it!), only that the disagreement be
polite.
I've been around this forum for just over two years now, and the main thing that has kept me here is that this community is so very different from the vast majority of on-line discussion forums in that it's not a venomous snake-pit full of people saying things in print that they'd never consider saying in person.
The ability to have intelligent discussions on a variety of topics is one of MobileRead's greatest strength, and, consequently, something we value pretty highly.
It's easy to get ... over-involved in some of these discussions (DRM and proprietary formats are probably the very best examples of that sort of topic), and it's happened to all of us. It's just important to sometimes take a breath and remember that sometimes we're getting more excited than we mean to be.
