Time for everyone to check their egos at the door and get back to the business of helping people...Remember that folks?!?! That's why we are all here....TO HELP ONE ANOTHER!!! :O)
Threads like this cultivate feelings of negativity and hostility..neither of which helps us achieve our goals of being a positive resource for the engraving community...a goal we BOTH share!!!
Get over yourselves and move on....... ;-)

You're right about the chat room....but it was longer ago than a few weeks....I believe that it over a month if not longer. I learned from that experience, and decided that I wouldn't discuss specific differences about there over here, as it was difficult for some people to swallow.
Even though I saw it differently because the EE didn't support chat rooms at the time. Some called that thread wrong, so I stopped altogether. The only posts that I have made about the woe here (since then) is when there is nitpicking going on. I saw this thread as opportunistic nitpicking, and I felt that it needed to be brought up for discussion.
I would rather just see neither be mentioned in a negative light on the other at this point since I belong to, and like both.

I'll leave the decision of what to do with this thread up to Harvey.
I've always been against deleting messages/threads.
Some see this type of thread as a huge disruption to the forum, although from the many posts I've read, upon entering the site this morning, it's one of many and probably the least interesting.
In fact, I made a point to read this one last.
Reports of personal attacks on myself from other forums, readily roll off my back. After seven years of participating in online forums, I feel I'm battle-tested.
In the words of my friend, John Fish, "People will be people." :-)

I have to agree with you. But I do find some of the posts humorous and totally ridiculous, but your right about people being people.
As far as personal attacks, I try to take a more civilized approach on WOE and will not tolerate that type of childish behavior. So rest assured you are not being attacked on WOE, actually the last mention about EE was when Harvey was giving updates on when you would be back up.
I have to admit, when WOE was started it was a clone of EE, but it has evolved into a more structured business oriented forum that our members seem to prefer. So I can understand why some of the EE members don't like it and prefer the wild west format.
But at the end of the day both forums have a need and a goal to help the members.

The "wild west format", not that it was ever a format, has greatly diminished.
As to a person's preference, that's why there are 31 flavors. :-)
