That thread was getting personal and nasty and I personally don't have a problem with a mod stepping in in those kind of situations. These forums are welcome for their friendly and helpful discussions. Most people here do not try to browbeat someone with a different opinion and there is a difference between candid discussion and condescension:

Folks have earnest opinions and I appreciate that. What we do not want to see is a gladiatorial contest where members try to prove their point by beating the other to death.
So that they can come back for another day, sometimes it is best to cool things down which is what I hope I did.
The technical discussion had already died a natural death and what was left was no longer constructive.

There simply is no need for it. Good discussion is awesome and not everyone will agree but any personal affront is not tolerated. Let me clearly state we are not like any other forum and that is what our members enjoy is a hassle free environment. So do I

You have a issue with anyone use the PM system and work it out. Those discussions are private and not for the public .
