That is fine, their decision, it attracts a certain type. But, when they start calling other forum owners names and denigrating other boards I get wondering about the people who bother to post there. Sort of tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are. I have just read the poster's BS and from the names I have to say I am not at surprised. Have decided I will never post there again, they are sick. Guess it takes all sorts to make a world, sure glad I am not in theirs. It used to be sane.

Why not talk about this in private. I thought I found a nice forum here but I guess DW is right, they are all the same and you people (except for Dialtone and Campy) are no better than the ones you are pointing the finger at. Think about it. Not sure if I will stay here or not as I don't like gossip. It is a nice forum.

Why don't you take your playmates and go to your own sandbox. Just my opinion as all you ever do is not read, complain, whine and attack.

I don't understand what the issue is about, there are lots of forums that talk about other forums. Don't get chased off George, most posters here are quite OK.

(Oh! that's what I did over there!) There ya go. Proven. Very recently I saw a con board that has posters from only one point of view. Any who hold differing opinions is banned. That is certainly over-moderation and leads to blandness. Any time opposing views meet there is a possibility of some strife and without mods I don't think it would make for a pretty picture or attract many for long and in fact, as I said above, unmoderated forums don't usually last too long from what I have seen.

Skeptic Posts: 31,154 Group: Member Member #714 Joined: March 30, 2010	I have to say I got more than peeved to have the owner referred to as Hitler who sits back and lets his minions do the dirty work and then he gets no blame. Yes, in my opinion there is a big problem and I am tired of seeing the same people do the same things with multiple names and sometimes the same name. Doesn't matter how much the good admin and mods do and cater to their egos they proceed to be very nasty to them. This is an ad nauseum situation, I have no answer but really, no poster here deserves this and more so neither do the people who make this site possible. Needless to say I am disgusted, and that is why I brought this up. Why are there so many angry people and I mean angry all the time. They are not happy unless they attack constantly. Now I said what was on my mind, simply my opinion. I will now shut up.

My guess is that George is the same poster who threatened me and is sliming WWS. I find that sometimes it is best to remain silent if one does not have all the facts.

Gold Star Member Posts: 7,190 Group: Member Member #721 Joined: April 1, 2010	How would we know the facts ? The OP was made under a cloak of secrecy and suspicion, so no facts that we can talk about it, so why ? I only belong to this forum and another much quieter one. I used this same name since I was on 50+ and it shut down, but I never use the same name on any other forum. I find there is too much baggage and history that follow same-namers from forum to forum. I don't know George and again don't know what forum you're talking about.
