I would prefer a more cordial atmosphere.

Well the brand specific forums here are as well such as the Technics, Lionstracs and Ketron forums. It is much easier to get on when you all use the same keyboards. And the brand specific forums are protected from owners of other brands disrupting their discussion.

But this is a General forum for all arranger keyboard owners to air their opinions so of course it is going to be more heated at times. And at times I will apply bans and close or remove threads when I think people have stepped over the line.

But I will look at both sides of an issue that is brought to my attention and if I think that both parties contributed to stepping over the line I will ban both. It has happened in the past where someone has complained about me not being tough enough that they also got swept up in the ban not just who they were complaining about.
