Default Format War Gets Ugly, AVS Forum Get Out The Banhammer

http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/11/12/avs-forum-reopens-blu-ray-hd-dvd-boards-new-rules-abound/

'Format fanboys (and girls), we sure hope you've taken the time to cool your apparently heated jets, because AVS Forum is putting its foot down from here on out. Just days after the site shut down the HD DVD / Blu-ray boards due to the zaniness that was ensuing, it has reopened the forums for new postings -- but there's a laundry list of rules to go with it."



I've been following this story closely the past few days. Last week, the "format war" escalated to the point of physical threats on the AVS Forum, and the moderators shut down the Blu-Ray and HD DVD sections completely. They've re-opened those forums, but not without strict warnings and a new set of rules. Really people, can't we have a civil debate? Is something as insignificant as what type of HD disc you use really worth fighting over? People around the world are dying and some fools are worried about this? Let's hope this "war" is over soon.
