Yeah, sorry, I actually did take your comment the wrong way.
Not because I felt it was directed against the OP but because i took it as "people arguing over bots" complaint about the drama instead of just "people arguing" as a complaint about their behaviour.
I guess it's normal that people get like that in heated debates and ideological issues, such as the ethics of paid upvotes.
It's good... if people wouldn't get emotional, all the abuse that's obviously happening wouldn't be cared about either.
