Which is why it is against the rules to post topics/messages with an obvious Dave vs Roger slant to them as it will almost certainly lead to trouble. If spotted, we may leave it for a while for hopefully everyone to come to the conclusion that people are entitled to their own opinions. If it appears that won't happen, we would normally lock the topic.
I dunno. Roger/David is a pretty important part of Floyd. In my humble opinion (and thats all I have since credibility seems to have eluded me in some members eyes some 4000 posts later), a Roger/Dave debate/comparison should be set up and pinned (its an essential part of any Floyd discussion), and should be set up with specific rules on how to reply. Throwing Roger/David comparisons aside seems foolish to me, as everyone--including myself--has wanted to start one at some point. Sure, some foolish people will make infantile replies but, by and large, people on this forum are intelligent, articulate, and understanding (or were before Live 8). It would be a potentially great thread. It has more potential to be a good thread than a ridiculous one.
Just my 3 cents (three because I need a little extra boost because, once again, many here lump me in with all the newbies who say Live8, went to buy themselves a t-shirt, and signed up talking to everyone like they were idiots, probably because of my age).
