The way I see it Flashkit is first and foremost a forum for Flash Developers to build on and share their knowledge.

There are a number of members who do not move from the Lounge and it could therefor be argued that they do not add anything to the community. Conversely there are a number of members who would never enter the Lounge, prefferring to strut their stuff in the help forums.

The lounge is here, in the main, to give releif from the working day to those of us who actiually work for a living and to build on the sense of community. What I have seen on these boards over the past couple of days does not add to the Flashkit community. Attacking and bullying members with personal insults for their point of view, nationality or religion is reprehensible.

I'm all for rational debate, I may not agree with other members opinions but I won't resort to petulant name calling (except in Jezza's case) and I expect those who do not agree with my points of view to offer me the same courtesy.
