Anyway guys, let's not argue amongst ourselves.
Fact is, there ARE mean people on WinCustomize. But there are a lot fewer now than there used to be.
Like many people, when we started the site, our first instinct was to go with "right of free speech". In the United States, even hate speech is protected.
But over time, we foudn the forums just becoming increasingly nasty. It's really hard to keep a forum "nice" when you have millions of people visiting the site. Our forums aren't as active as other sites but on the other hand, other forums don't attract such a wide RANGE of people.
So in the past year, we've slowly migrated to more of a policy of removing mean people. People who intentioally try to irritate others or constantly bash things. Disagreement is fine. Meanness is not. I think one of the reasons why this forum has become more pleasant again is the change in policy -- quietly removing the trouble makers.
