Dave, the bad trend is the explosion of threads piling up about how much you want the forum to be run this way or that, how unfair I am and so on and so forth.
By all means, feel free to talk about, Oh, I dunno, how about Kung Fu and Martial arts?
Maybe that will trend in a different direction that will prove satisfactory to all involved?
Kung Fu is good for you.
As an observer. All I can see is the main people who ***** alot, *****ing. Its the same 5 people.
Ross, I couldn't care less about who your teachers were. I just observe you being quite put off that you can't just make this the Ross show any more.
Hardwork needs to be ignored.
Perhaps if you few jokers would just go away, the multitude of people that might post would come back.
I am the moderator of the southern forum and the health and fitness one, which anyone that frequents them can see have NOT had any troll issues since I toke them over lats year.
The southern one had to be moderated a bit more than the other one of course and in the first couple of months there were some issues but once it was made clear of what was what, it ran and continues to run smoothly.
Balance needs to be maintained and DJ is just getting his feet wet and I am confident that he will find the balance that he and this site need.
I support DJ 100%.

You know, Jamieson has a point. I don't like him much personally but it's just a guy you don't like on the internet, it's not a big deal, it hasn't been THAT bad, and you should talk to him privately first, in my opinion.
Also, don't hold grudges over people online (most of the time). Not good for health.
It is bias to think that the art of war is just for killing people. It is not to kill people, it is to kill evil. It is a strategem to give life to many people by killing the evil of one person.

as a health-care professional, after careful consideration, my assessment is as follows:
Exit S.R.B. Re-enter Lucas. Such drama.
In general, I let the forum run amuck. It seems that's the general state of a martial arts gathering and I actually enjoy the chaos more than the something that's overly controlled. That feels so unnatural, so unrealistic. But then, members complain. People always complain - some are genuine, others are just cries for help or attention - and I do have to listen to them for the genuine ones. Here on the forum, genuine complaints started to become such a time suck, so I made the decision to re-instate DJ. As many of you vets of this place know, DJ was a previous mod, and stepped down by his own choice. When he was a mod before, we worked together quite well. When he took off his mod 'hat', he joined the rough and tumble banter like many other members. Now he's adjusting back. Sure, he's been heavy-handed, but given that I was receiving so many complaints, control is a major issue.
Forgive the metaphor, DJ, but I feel like Mr. Burns when he says 'release the hounds'.
