But, honestly, if we're not going to talk about what happened and why it happened so everyone can learn from the situation, I don't know why we're talking about it at all.

There are some tantalizing hints of what we might be talking about (esp. re: punk and shesus's posts) but without a better scope, it's kind of empty.
I saw everything up close and personal, and I agree, up to a point. Sometimes these kinds of threads are an internet version of lancing a boil. It ain't pretty and it kinda hurts, but in the long run it's the healthy thing to do.
