It's a fine line to walk, but if we focus on facts and keep integrity intact (as I believe we are both doing) then at least people can make informed decisions and hopefully these kinds of disagreements over the peg can be civilised so we don't get personal or end in flag wars.
For better or worse it is the best we can hope for. I am very pleased not to have been flagged for this post by vested interests. It was one of my concerns :)
I decided a while ago not worry about downvotes. I got downvotes for months from a certain controversial whale (often in the last 12 hours before payout so no more upvotes could undo it). I just accepted it and moved on.
