Fair enough, but the threads that go haywire are about topics that can be found easily with answers that are as specific as you're going to get in a response from someone on here. We're not talking about advanced tech questions.

That's where the sh*t goes down, and that's what the search button is for (among other things), and, finally, that why we have vfaq, stickies, and the like.

A d*ck reponse should be avoided, I suppose, but I'm inclined to agree that a reprimand for the d*ck response is also imprudent (unless you're a mod).

Finally, I notice that often the bullsh*t starts over relatively benign responses, which indicates that a few members are more sensitive than most.
