Nox, I remember similar had happen loads of times before, and I am speaking from a veteran member's perspective (I ain't no "newbie" here~). I personally think that one or two consecutive flames between two members are okay. What's important is the "culture" of this forum. So Marc doesn't want it to be filled with "trolls" that only throw slimes around all day, but those people are rare (so far). That's actually one thing I think he knows very well- not everyone are "trolls" all the time- We all do some silly things sometimes, it's not necessary to censor that kind of sporadic silliness. Only when Marc notices a repetitive pattern of flaming in a thread or of a particular member that causes trouble all the time he comes in and interferes. I think that is a good choice. It stays true to "freedom of speech", and it keeps the "culture" of this forum decent, which all we need for productive discussion. I personally approve this choice of his and I think he shouldn't be interfering more.
