Agreed. I'm not against criticism - I think Lucas should be criticised for suppressing the OUT. I have frequently criticised him in the past for exactly that. My point is that civil criticism has a chance of being taken seriously, whereas bashing (by which I mean personal insults, which there are a lot of on these forums) has no such chance.

I think we're all more or less on the same page here.
