<p>To think a few people can ruin chainlink for many does an injustice to we many who can make up our own minds about things, and forum posters. Seriously, it's an open forum for a reason. People choose to post what and how they like, and I support that right 100% as long as the forum rules are followed. If people are offended or insulted they can choose to ignore the post, simple as that. Chainlink is important, bottom line, 'nuff said.</p>
