I think people are just getting way too paranoid.
There does need to be a certian amount of civility here.
Anarchy doesn`t work. Look at squat juice.
You can make comments that are`nt ass licking or that are negative.
But explain yourself properly, and do it in a civilised way.

The way I look at it, is mark has invited us all to a meeting at his house.
Now, knowing mark, you know he likes a good debate, but at the same time, he`s not gonna appreciate disrespect, or crassness.

If I was holding a meet and someone turmed up and started cussing and being a general eedjit, then I`d knock em out and drag em out. Same with most of you probably (although you may just ask them to leave or something hehe)

Now I had a bit of a confontation with Glen Wilson on this forum, and besides other people sticking their oars in and behaving like school children, both me and Glen kept things civil, and neither of us was banned by mark (and seeing as mark and glen are mates, I thought I was maybe gonna get choked for it, but I needed to say what I did), and I gotta respect him for that. And I hope, on resolution, there is no animosity between us.

Obviously we can`t all agree.
Debate, and critisism is something that will keep us all on our toes, and will help push the scene forward.
We can also say "well done mate" to each other now and again.

I think the key here is to keep things civil. And to not disrespect.
The techno scene is full of intelligent people, so lets use our intellect, rather than behave like school children.
