I think it's more than a little valuable to let people see that we're willing to self-regulate, criticize in-house, and strive for accuracy. There's a lot riding on this, so we need to be a step ahead and a cut above those who are agianst us.

That is true but as has been said before a divided house doesn't stand and the public appearance of a divided house is a sign of weakness our enemies will use against us. Flaming idiots on here is one thing but going after USARK with anything more than constructive criticism that could benefit others besides USARK openly on here is plain stupid (axl rose would be in concrete shoes lol).

Professionally as a musician I have had people pull stuff like that on stage in front of an audience. I am a second generation musician with old school values like the "show must go on" and such and that type of behavior is a cardinal sin in the music world.
I am generally a nice guy but I will fire people for that one EVERY time and I am quite vicious about it when I fire them for it.
Like I said it's one thing to criticize it is another to do it where our enemies can see it and use it as an achilles heel.
