I agree with this apart from the trash talking thing. The huahwi situation is ridiculous and he's not coming back, the hacker threads are inevitable but annoying.
However on trash talking the sr. Staff are being incredibly stubborn, using very strange arguments. Considering there are that many threads on it, it is clearly a problem and just because the sr. Staff want to keep it the way it is (and, looking at recent beautiful pictures of turbulence, abuse others themselves) doesn't mean it's not a problem. Until it's addressed I don't see why the discussion should stop.
