I believe the saying is 'Dont bite off your nose to spite your face'.
Rather than discuss the way some people are asking/demanding for an improvement or making suggestions/demands for how to improve MR and get more people reading the great MR books... why not discuss the actual suggestion itself?

I did state my position on the suggestion. That is, I do not care one way or the other if MR offers a torrent of all MR uploaded books.
The reason I posted what I did is because I see a very clear undercurrent of rudeness developing in the short time I have been a MR member. Many threads have been littered with personal attacks and insults for seemingly no better reason than the fun of posting such infantile vitriol. This rudeness, imho, is potentially far more harmful to the MR site than the lack of a torrent to bulk download.
There is a way to make suggestions that is polite and considerate. Personally, if I were the owner/operator of MR I wouldn't be inclined to take heed of any "suggestion" that is made in a rude manner or phrased such that it seemed like a demand. If I did take the time to even respond to such "suggestions" and my response was subsequently questioned as to it's honesty I would be even less inclined to take heed of any further "suggestions" made by those members.
Just my 2 cents.
