My thought is that if I had homework and I was lost..I mean totally lost..I would not hesitate to ask on this forum. I would not ask for you to do the homework for me, but to get help in understanding what I didn't know. I remember a few years ago I said that I wanted to learn CSS and everyone on this forum came to the rescue in pointing me in the right directions, and helping me to learn, but the truth was I had to do the work or I wouldn't learn. Doing someone's homework for them and helping them to understand the problem is 2 entirely different things. With that being said, I think everyone understands each others boundaries on here. Also, if I go back to 2004, there was a guy that didn't know squat about web design, and the thing that stood out for me on this forum was the dignity and respect that other people showed me.
To bottom line it:
1) I would help someone with homework, but would NEVER do it for them.
2) Just don't be mean for any reason. If it's bad enough someone will put down the Ban Hammer, but the kindness and acceptance of this forum is what distinguishes it from all the others.
3) If anyone "misspoke" on here, it's time to apologize and move on. There is never anything good from having an adversarial relationship on a forum. Matt and Steve both seem like good people. I think they simply had a misunderstanding, emotions started running high, and something was said that shouldn't have been.
