Well it's great how it's lasted. So many forums I've loathed having to put on my Nomex underwear ready to get back to the flame war. Takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it.
Loyalty above all else, except Honour
In some ways I think it has a lot to do with the subject matter. We're here talking about flashlights. To most, a rather dull subject, but certainly not a controversial one. You either love them (as we do) or you ignore them. Really , who wants to fight over flashlights? Anyone here ever been to a quilting forum? I have to believe they're kind of peaceful as well?
You know, "troll" is actually a fishing analogy, unrelated to those monsters which live under bridges or underground.
(The more you know!)
The word has a richness to it though, I like trolling for trolls sometimes myself... Or to troll the trolls of trolling trolls. Which is somewhere between kite fighting and poaching from a long line fisherman.
Seriously though, if you want to dust off the Nomex and say your piece, there is a place for that on the main page.

The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
While discussions/opinipns can get quite heated here. I think for the most part, members are really just trying to help others when trying to decide what light they "need" to buy.
Those Vatican Assassin Warlocks who have tiger blood flowing through their veins and who hate trolls must have taken care of 'em all.
FYI: A post has been removed due to derogatory comments regarding another specified board.
I admit that some other boards may do so. However, unless there appears exceptional reason to relax our efforts against such, we don't attack or denigrate alternate or competing boards.
Speaking of our good points is favored over calling attention to others' bad points.

In the past we have had a light which flickered, in the present we have a light which flames, and in the future there will be a light which shines over all the land and sea.

You guys have obviously never read the threads started by incan freaks bashing LED technology in the fixed lighting forum.
Or the inverse, go into the automotive forum and try to discuss any mobile lighting technology not invented by Europeans.
Cpf sucks. Discuss.
I tried to click Post, but I can't in good conscience post this without a disclaimer that I'm kidding, and obviously so.
CPF sucks time and money from less worthy pursuits.
The brighter the light, the darker the shadow.
I got your trolls right here...
Some admins are Europeans...they don't mess around
Tread lightly. Don't bring attention to yourself.
If you really, really, really must know where where they are.
Greta keeps them in her subterranean labyrinth & feeds them with spammers.
