The guy who started this thread, The Driver is the best example of a courteous poster. He rarely posts but when he does every post matter. Some of the answers to his posts were aggressive though, although not to this one.

You yourself Cheyenne are the best example of how you can have an argument without things becoming personal. Even your posts in Politics where I hold different views are interesting.

So I think that the original question stays, but the accent is not on why the posts stopped, but on why they stopped now.
