Also, it would be nice if the senior PMC members would step in and 
eliminate hunger and poverty.

Seriously though, I understand where you are coming from - but you are a 
bit late to the party. The PMC members are patient and tolerant, but 
there comes a time when repeated unwarranted attacks (or wild conspiracy 
theories) provoke a response.

Flames wars occur in every online forum - this one included. I don't 
think anyone has the power to prevent them or control them - they just 
happen. Your appeals won't change that.

Everyone here tends to look the other way and let the warring parties go 
at each other until something comes along to distract them.
