Andy with certain posts you will always get a certain reaction and this is natural. Some people will always get a reaction because they make postings which are either funny, stupid, idiotic, normal, senseless, credible, not credible etc etc etc
People will always react because we don't always agree. So the guys that are "riding" tec are really doing it light heartedly and vice-versa. Surely as a newly appointed "admin" you want light hearted interaction ??
