There are really two attitudes to take about competition.

1. It's healthy and makes everybody try harder to please the customer/user. That's my attitude, and the attitude of most successful people in any sort of competitive enterprise (maybe Bill Gates aside, heh heh), from guys like Michael Jordan to Scott McNealy of Sun. A rising tide raises all ships, though some people are, of course, too small-minded to see that.

2. Ban our competitors because we can't handle the pressure of competing with them or because we believe in banning anything we don't like .

Which one are you advocating again? Would that be healthy competition or cowardice and intolerance?

Seriously, I understand you were mainly trying to be funny in the expression of a dislike (for whatever reason) of Iron Realms, but unprovoked flaming isn't cool. Don't be one of those crazies who do that. You're better than that.
