Can you imagine being at a meeting at your office and someone calls you on something written the forum? "Why do we pay for this? It only generates complaints!" You guys bust a lot of people's balls. Some of those people are our clients. Ever think about that? That being said, the sales produced by the forum aren't always enough to justify the hassle. So there is a contingent here that considers turning off the forum.

There's a certain self-righteousness here, as if forum members have certain rights, that threads can't be deleted because that infringes on their rights. Now I'm a staunch supporter of freedom of speech. After all, I'm a publisher. But funding for the forum could end if the bottom lines aren't met. While I work to defend this forum, if funding where to end, I wouldn't fund it personally.
I agree, there certainly are some really opinionated, aggressive, abusive members on here!
