Lets not beat around the bush here, I know i've been involved in my fair share of arguments and acted like a complete git sometimes (ayayay, I said SOMETIMES!!!)... and I do agree that the whorethreads are a problem and perhaps the best cure is to remove them. Once things settle down, who knows, they might be returned!
I've been part of the aguments stewing over the past few months and I'm sorry that I've made some of you feel uncomfortable about it, I've also been the target of such arguments and that's not nice either.
For the others that have had similiar problems, a quick pm to someone will more often than not solve the issue
