I see your point, but this is an international bastion for the entire world of SFF, I feel.. we must be neutral and kind to each-other, while also being honest with our free speech. It's honest free speech to voice your opinion respectfully and call a clone case or cloned case design aspect exactly what it is... but it's not kind to constantly try to derail a thread.


Think of how this works in the US, you can protest any establishment within a reasonable range of it's building, to allow your opinions against it to be seen publicly by it's patrons in order to educate them, but you are not allowed to go inside the establishment, or to hinder those wanting to enter, both of which disrupt business.


Don't get me wrong, i believe in free speech, but in moderation. What do i mean? Free speech as a mirror of how it works in the US: in a respectful way, that doesn't incite violence on another entity. So what is the equivalent of that on a forum? I don't know. Am I one to say we should enact this sort of system on this forum? heck no, i'm no authority... but i do believe this: Post and discuss your opinion respectfully, without inciting to derail or disrupt a thread where some people are trying to conduct business. Because as [USER=26]@Phuncz[/USER] mentioned, some people have good reasons to go after and legitimately do business with a clone case maker, it's their right, and they should be unhindered in doing so if we are truly to believe in the neutrality and freeness of speech we all have on the internet, and in this international internet community forum.
