Please stop hijacking threads!

Don't attack as I'm a huge fan of these forums after recently converting from a P&S to a DSLR. My challenge is that we have too much pettiness in these forums. I love a good debate but many of these threads contains attacks between 2-3 people who hijack the thread, and they detract from the quality of these forums.

My recommendation is that we either need to self-police ourselves, or perhaps the forum moderators become more aggressive in warning and possibly banning people. I really don't want to ban anyone - we just need to stop this pettiness. It reminds me of being back in high school watching the two jocks fight over who is the best.

If you want to see an example, see the thread titled "D5000 vs. D90":

Don't hate.
