She explained it simply. If your inquiry was one of honest concern or just curiosity, then welcome aboard and please excuse (and don't take personally) her Admin flexing that's on guard for trolls. A simple response of, "Nope, not here to make waves...was just wondering what happened to Howie's participation on the other board" would of been kewl.
Buuuutttt, you went right to butt hurt mode/defensive stance. You're either easily offended/confrontational...or a troll. I could see where you might take some umbrage with her comment, but since no one knows you here, you'll excuse the powers that be if they didn't know you were a swell person from the get go.
He knows full well we don't operate by the same standard as those over there. We're able to self-moderate and weed out the trolls.
As ekg said,
there's a hell of a lot of great ppl there, many of whom I'm in contact with. Including conservatives. Yet, as both ekg and I saw on another forum, the inmates have taken over the asylum. It's no longer a discussion board, it's a "Let's see who can flamebait women, gays, blacks and democrats the most without being constructive". The personal insults and childish behavior have taken over reason and given the nature of the forum, it's difficult at best to control.
I hope Grind comes over and visits. He wants to play the survivor thing. And I like WinterBorn and Superfreak.
Can you remind him, Bijou?
Oh. And Dicksee's meltdown is simply fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
