Wes,
Funny that you started this topic because most who replied about "Personal Attacks" are the very people doing it and encouraging it, even craving it, as it appears. All we're missing a reply from on this thread is GDU. The personal attacks are a last resort against people like him, Roddog and 2314 because frankly, most people get tired of their know-it-all posts and just irritating comments that are made for no other reason than to piss people off. I've even met 2314 and he's nice enough in person but his posts wear some people out.
I've been a KFC poster and follower since 1998 or 1999 and I still enjoy reading the quality posts, healthy debates and information but the other stuff has really taken away from the experience of KFC. I love the site but I wish there was a way that those I named and a few others, would just stop with their know it all stuff and contribute in a more informative, less antagonistic manner.
