I don't know what a wine berserker is but it sure sounds like I don't want to be one. Classic picture Tim. :lol:

Maybs, you're a nice guy, so I hesitated to let you in on the sordid world of the Berserkers. But we should all be warned how low some people can stoop :roll:

If you have a spare 15 minutes, cop this http://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/vie ... 1&t=107836

Sadly this is typical of what is appearing all too often on the Berserkers forum these days. Long may the informative, fun and gracious attitude of this forum continue.

Yeah..WB is a great source of information...but there is a difference between minimal intervention by mods and NO intervention by mods. The personal attacks get out of hand. Healthy debate is fine and IMO, differences in opinions is what makes forums interesting...but this gets far too out of hand. As far as I can tell (and I might be wrong) they don't even warn people to tone it down a bit...

Yep, i followed that thread and couldnt believe how it deteriorated.

Often seems to be Burgundy related threads that bring out the worst in people.
