Actually the topic itself wasn't a bad one, it just got carried away into not good things land. I think it is important to discuss why the things we buy are made where they are. Actually I believe MRR has actually done a few articles on manufacturing in Korea and Japan. It is difficult to get into any discussion that concerns legal or economic issues that affect this hobby, but to ignore them leaves us as less educated consumers. Why are things built overseas? Why the limited run editions? Why the higher prices? Why the UP flap? Why is QSI and MTH in a disagreement. All these things affect us - the modelrailroaders and are appropriate, IMHO to this forum. Its when we start calling each other names and stuff where it has to stop. <br /> <br />I dare say that just as many feelings were hurt (your reason for pulling the 'who you vote for thread) on the sites where folks tell others that their equipment is "junk" and that they are not real model railroaders. Should these topics be pulled also? <br /> <br />I don't think this topic was bad. We need to police ourselves more carefully and be civil to each other. There are many ways to express one's opinions and thoughts, and name calling and flaming others is not the way.
