Oh, all 49 contributions. How on earth the whole latin american community will survive if you stop contributing?

My thoughts exactly. Somehow I don't think Latin America is gonna lose any sleep over this.

Yes, lets drive all the small contributors away, who needs their pitiful bits of work - if they are not prepared to put your life on hold to spend every free second into the community, then we don't need them around here.     

Your kind of attitude is disgusting imo. Every contributor should be welcomed and supported. This attitude of kicking the **on the way out of unhappy members makes me sick. **edit

@ Lopek...

Dude, seriously. Are you snarked off at everyone? It seems no matter what someone posts, it pisses you off.

**edit Sheesh.

Lopek, you might want to read the forum rules before posting insults and name calling.

Possible flame wars yes, but not vulgarities. That cannot be tolerated.

While I agree that the vulgarities were totally uneccessary (although tw*t isn't as extreme a word as it in the US), what I find most galling is that there are a lot of people who will take every opportunity to make snide remarks about other users.
In this situation, Lopek made a valid point that sarcastic comments can drive people away and is not healthy for the community. he may have put it a bit more diplomatically, but it was still a valid point. But others took it upon themselves to start insulting him, and thus we end up with nasty posts going backwards and forwards.
I've always thought that a forum that needed moderators was a forum full of people who I don't really want to converse with. But this place is getting worse, and soon a lot more people are going to be driven away unless the bad behaviour is stamped out.

I think all antagonists should take a deep breath and should be aware that common respect is better than any vulgarities or insults...We are all working on the same target: keeping the database on a high quality standard!
