My forum. My rules. Don't like it? Then go elsewhere.
Many have, either by their own choice, or yours.
Some of us really love this place, Simon. We have great affection for the wonderful board you created and we want to see it stay strong and wecoming. Lately, it seems more than a few feel less than welcome.
A few of the "shit stirrers" and "trouble makers" are sincere individuals who value what you've built here and don't want to see it ruined because of petty, emotional, and hasty decisions. The mark of a true friend is they will call you on your BS instead of lying to your face about how wonderful you are.
I'd like to be open about what I see happening, but I hold back out of respect or maybe cowardice. I like having access here and I don't want to force a confrontation with you.
But if you were my little brother and I observed you alienating good people, I'd give you a loving slap upside they head and say, "Wise up, Kiddo. You're being a brat."
That's what I would say...but won't.
