Yes Leon, your right. Honestly, IMO the concern is probably more due to deliberate little irritations generated by commercial or institutional bodies and the disregard they display to the whole astronomical community. Sometimes these irritations just boil over, more in getting things "off ones chest".
However, I think that the majority of threads here are under General Chat, and the diversity of possible posts will often lead to passionate or significant debate. However, if you are truly after astronomical information, there are many other threads under different subjects within the forum - I can recommend them openly for there friendliness and idea of community.
If others are really slightly uncomfortable with the friction, at least they can read details on more astronomical subject. Sometimes things have to be said - at least to clear the air. Just an observation.
