Given the usual reaction of "Team Positivity" to any criticism of Entourage, as evidenced by the first couple of responses to jcase's initial comment in "that" thread, that side show was inevitable once jcase did what was necessary to get Entourage to play ball and live up to their GPL obligations. The pro-Entourage side of that thread dished out quite a bit in the way of personal attacks themselves, yet oddly none of the "can't we all just get along" moralizing since then seems to be directed at them; rather it predictably follows any criticism of Entourage or impatience with their failure to meet their obligations.
I'm sure you mean well, so here's a hint for the future: insinuating that other commenters are immature and need your guidance in how to behave isn't going to prevent escalation. Like the beloved (by people who aren't me) New Forum Rules say, treat others as you would like to be treated.

I'm not going to let this turn into a caricature of the very thing I was trying to prevent. I wasn't taking sides. It was a comment to both 'sides', a totally general statement (read my post and demonstrate otherwise). I was wholeheartedly behind the release of source. Now if I've caused offence or been misunderstood, then I hereby apologize. With regard to treating others etc, everyone has the ability to read through every single post another member has contributed. Read through mine. If you class me as one of the cheerleaders, then so be it. You'll certainly not find any deliberate provocation of flame wars. Anyway make your own mind up. Apologies again. Let's move on
