When us newbies ask for advice no matter how stupid, we are desperate for answers. There can be many answers and opinions, I think about all of them and incorporate the best one for myself. On a final thought, being kind is so much easier and less stressful than arguing with a cyber person.

The War Zone is a sub-forum reserved for "heated" issues. We intentionally made it a seperate area, with a clear warning as to what's in it and what it's for, so members can chose to avoid it, if they prefer to not read a heated discussion. Some issues are either controversial, or sensitive, yet they can be very important or valuable, and we canot simply delete them based on controversy, if they happen to be informative. A clearely marked space for such issues solves the problem, and allows us to acheive the balance of allowing a wider range of opinions, while not disrubting the supportive atmosphere in other areas of the forum.
You may have joined a discussion in the War Zone through the search page, and didn't notice in which area it was posted. You can avoid such threads if you want, by noticing the forum title in the search results.
