Whether you like it or not, when you speak...you speak for the forum. You are definitely "inner circle" when it comes to the decisions of what happens here. Joe, on 2 occaisions now, you could have let me have my gripe and move on. Instead you call me a bastard and an asshole. People here have gripes and they are going to air them. All you are doing is re-enforcing the "no dissent" myth about this place.
Have you noticed how many long time freepers no longer post here? I'm not talking about trouble makers or the type that just liked to get under people's skin, but honestly good posters. They are gone. Do you ever wonder why? Perhaps it is because they would like to see this "movement" go somewhere, yet anytime they have a complaint or suggestion that goes against the mood of the moment, they get piled on by folks like you. There are still good posters that occaisionally post, but not with the same fervor they used to and I think that this is a big reason for it.
Gabz:
My mother once gave me advice about disputes between your friends:
"Stay out or make peace. Don't pick a side or you jeapordize both relationships."
Thought you would appreciate that.
