And the moderators treatment of fx was rather biased and sanctimonious I felt.

If you want to create a successful board you have to let people express themselves freely and with passion.

The only proviso is that they have to be able to support their case.

Otherwise a board quickly becomes like tea-time in the convent - totally inoffensive and excruciatingly boring!
You think my welcome was bad. Now I have some kinda scramble on my posts....It's funny. Makes em come out wonky when I'm not logged in...

Just a hint for those "in the loop" over there, since it scrambles EVERYTHING in my posts, it's obvious the intent so it kinda kills the effect. And it's kinda funny that someone would go through so much trouble.

Wonky wonky bork bork bork.

It isn't only nuns that find offensive things to be boring.

Pity you never learned that.

LOL

I know - this was such a terrific board ... garysher went out of his way to spoil it - but fxashun certainly steadfastly endeavored to put the final nails in.

Maybe - with luck - the debates can be resumed without the b.s. from them and the forum will get as busy as it used to be.

well, when one somebody brags and takes great pride in being "an asshole" - and goes out of his way every opportunity he gets to prove it true - it's not surprising that he finds himself not wanted.



his behavior and its result is simple cause and effect

I took everybody off ignore last week - but I usually just bypass the "ignored ones" posts unless I'm curious about their response to something specific. It doesn't happen often.
