Alright I think this has been done with. This is now officially OT.
GladiatrsInBlue: If you have a problem with what's going on in a thread, email the mods (myself, Neil, James, Andre, Rich) or report the offending post and we'll have a look at the complaint. From what I've read, no-one has tried denying your freedom to post whatever you want and in reality, they can't anyway. All people have done is disagree with you. That does nothing to stop you posting, does it? Either deal with the fact that people may well disagree with what you have to say or, well, you might have to re-evaluate what you're doing on a discussion forum of any sort.
That freedom does extend to others too. If they don't strictly stick to the thread topic, well that's the way discussions often go. It's only when threads get wildly OT that the mods step in. This thread, until this point, was floundering a bit but could easily head back to being on topic.
