Did everyone go insane yesterday?

I was away on an RS field day up in Manchester so it looks like ive missed the whole kaboodle of posts. Did everyone go totally insane? Look if this has all been discussed then please, someone, feel free to delete this thread. But by the looks of things, it looks like a civil war has occured, which has detracted a lot away from all who use this forum as a means of escape from reality. Over the last 6months i have learned to value all the posters on here as friends and comrades. So please, if for nothing else than to save the mind of an impressionable 17 year old, let it all drop and start again.
End of plea.
