Kind of like a Democracy is the result of those who opt to vote.
Those who did not Vote really do not have any reason to complain.
Several years ago this Forum was moderated fairly heavily.
Posts which attacked others or put members down were deleted and the offenders banned or otherwise dealt with.
However, over the years, members complained that there was too much moderation and wanted a more free hand.
Since this is a Forum for you guys, those wishes were honored. The result is what we have today.
The several members who were banned some time ago took things to the extreme and were essentially hijacking just about every thread which did not fit their criteria.
It got to be pretty silly really, as you could not post anything without some of them turning the thread into their agenda.
The sad thing is that you guys allowed this to happen. You cannot blame the moderators or Gene since this is what the majority of people wanted, a lack of moderation.
I miss several of those who used to post here, Zopa, KJ, Rene, and the list goes on.
IMHO, the simple truth is that most who post here have no real interest in exchanging information. The simply want to present their view as though it were gospel and argue with anyone not of the same viewpoint.
