That's possibly my favorite aspect of MobileRead: the fact that it isn't a viper-pit like so many (read: this is the only one I've ever seen) forums out there. It's something I value highly, and defend and promote energetically. It's also the real reason I use smilies, it helps avoid inadvertent offense, given or taken.
The only thing sadder and more pathetic than a flame war, is one that nobody actually
starts, but rather just sorta
happens. (sigh)
