Nah don't worry, debates get heated, but I'm pretty sure nobody thinks of you as the typical forum noob. you're clearly a lot better.
I mean, feel free to post suggestions (I just wouldn't fiercely defend all of them, since as we all just saw, it can throw everything off). I don't think anybody flamed you, or at the very least that wasn't their intent. If it was, PM a moderator or something and I'm sure they will help. We don't bite =p (well, most of us...)
Also, since when was Brick Break ever used on RestTalk Heracorss? =p
