Wow on reading all of this thread it has some pretty long posts in it that's for sure and now things have become a bit more civilised people are coming up with some great idea's. You right in that it all comes down to balance really at the end of the day.

I started another thread here that may be of interest to you, some people have come up with some more great idea's in that as well even ones that are not really on topic too things like death penalty, check it out if you have time (it's a lot shorter than this one so won't take as long ^^)
