Sorry guys, I'm closing this thread for now.
It is one thing to share opposing viewpoints in this thread (and I see all sides already had plenty of time to present and discuss their viewpoints.)
But it is another thing when we start to question fellow members' actions from other threads. It has long passed the point when the new discussions in this thread would benefit any of us in anyway.
We are all fellow fans with the same passion for TF and mates on this forum. I hope there'll be no hard feelings.
STL, I would love to read your next Soapbox.
Please PM me or other mods if any of you disagree with this.
