Good grief. Her we go again. Look, if you don't like it here, Leave! Sheesh! What could be simpler than that?

My goofy Star Wars reference to diotima prompted that?

C'mon Jim... enough with the chest puffery.

It's your website.

You run it how you wanna run it.

Some of us happen to think enough of the place (and even of you) to tell you when we think things are wrong.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd like to think that 7 years entitles me to speak my mind without all the macho headgame stuff.

I know you can ban me... you don't have to tell me.

I am sensing a Roy meets Lion moment here. At any moment you are to be carried (lovingly, of course) from the stage by your neck. :)

"Some of us happen to think enough of the place (and even of you) to tell you when we think things are wrong."

Telling Jim that you think something is wrong is perfectly fine. Telling Jim the same thing over, and over, and over, again, is nagging. There is a sea of difference between telling Jim that you think something is wrong, and telling him how to run this site, which is what BADJOE has been doing, then beyond tgat, seeing how his suggestions were not followed, BJ threatened to "expose" the site.

That's blackmail pure and simple.

"I'd like to think that 7 years entitles me to speak my mind without all the macho headgame stuff."

You can be a welcomed guest in my house every single day of your life, and you're still not entitled to any right that I do not grant you within its confines.
