First off, no, this is not a proper way to address your concerns with yesterday's behavior. If you would like a forum environment which does not include name calling and behavior you disagree with, then do not promote such behavior yourself. This thread is just as bad mudslinging as you are passing judgement on and taking a holier-than-thou approach to it does not exempt you.

Yes, things got heated yesterday. It tends to happen on any forum. It does not make it OK. Hopefully, people will cool down and move on. My advice is that whenever you feel like posting something that might sound offensive or be taken the wrong way is to move away from the keyboard for 10 minutes and then come back with a clear mind. You'd be surprised at how perspectives can change.

I do not usually tend to disclose moderation decisions, but to avoid any unnecessary speculation, the OP was not banned for making this thread, but for being a duplicate account of another member. The original account got a temporary ban for this.
