Right, timing out this thread having read some of the recent posts as both Flooter and I could do with a break from repeating ourselves about constructive, respectful debate, not flooding the forum with repetitive, circular posting and not inciting conversation around community drama or infighting. I'm guessing a break will be a relief to a number of community members, too, and will hopefully allow a few folk here to take a step back and consider how they can interact more positively.

My thanks to everyone who has been trying to discuss this topic that seems to be emotive and controversial for many in a friendly and constructive manner, and refusing to rise to provocation.

I will reopen the thread tomorrow, though if there's any repeat of the behaviour that led it to be locked then it'll be shut down again until I can consult with the Larian community management team after the weekend.

And please, in case anyone is tempted, noone here try to create a duplicate thread while this one is timed out. That will be viewed as trying to evade moderation.

EDIT: Reopening the thread after time-out.
