*Takes a deep breath*
I'd like to apologise to more or less everyone for the 3 or 4 posts I put up on this thread over the past few days in answer to some of the questions and replies on here. I very clearly overreacted to some of them and the wording of my posts not only broke my own rules that i've previously moderated other people for, but it simply wasn't needed and only served to aggravate the situation further.
Secondly, this topic is now unlocked but a lot of posts have been removed, this is my doing and nothing to do with the other mods. After taking a lot of flak over this topic from both sides of the argument, i've done something that I perhaps should have done as soon as the thread risked going so badly off topic.
Finally, a lot of posts have gone missing in this thread, over 7 pages worth, in some of this there were posts made that were actual discussion of the game, but some of the posts they quoted were ones i've deleted, so I took the decision to delete everything from the original offending post onwards. If anyone wants to post their thoughts again, please do so.
Chris.
