I have had my fair share of spats with people here and there and am in no way innocent of treating people less well than I should from time to time. However, I also like to think I have given a lot to this site over the years. My near 1000 recs were gained over 3 years of posting at a e that have something to say, but the moment things turn nasty I'm out. A one time offer.
Let's face it. Things got so bad in the forums that people couldn't even make a post anymore without a horde of ugly attacks on their person. Everything a person said, everything they stood for or believed in. That led to the poster fighting back in defense and pretty soon the forums were full of senseless bickering and hate.

Some people complained. Some decided not to post anymore. Some even left.

I'm proud of Russ for taking matters into his own hands. It's been through his own hard labor that RHP just keeps getting better.

Some users might post something that one of my members does not agree with, and they say so. Another member of my clan comes in also not agreeing. People lose site of the fact ther ...[text shortened]... h other over what happened more than it was us giving each other hi-fives.

P-
As far as im aware this was why our clan was started too, to discuss things both because we didnt want the posts being deleted and to have an 'adult' conversation without prying eyes.

Oh, and we also play clan matches πŸ˜›

I am sorry to see Dotwell go, but I don't really believe it. I think it is just a cancerous ploy fizzed up by the you know who Clans to try and bring Russ to his Knees. The threat of a revolt kind of thing. Problem is there really were guys leaving because of this same group. And Russ knew it. What is interesting is that Plab says he started his clan to give the troublemakers a place to fight and cuss and turns around and says that it is a lie that they are trouble makers.

P.S. Do you think if I tell all the girls I look like Brad Pitt. They will start to believe me. Like the certain Clans try and convince everyone how important and innocent they are all the time. Everyone already knows the world wouldn't survive without them. OK, whatever, Have a nice day.

You are correct Arrakis, through all the muck it is difficult just to see clearly who are decent people because you always have to walk around in a defensive posture. Well said.

Here we go, a perfect example of the problem.

Another snide comment from one of the usual suspects to spark an argument.

Talk about self-centered.

Private forums remove from the public forums many interesting topics and posters who obviously don't have time to be anywhere. It would be ridiculous to believe that private forums don't make the public ones less active.

Many subscribers may fell it is worth it (and subscribers are what counts in this site), but I for one can't see the interest of limiting the number of persons that can view or contribute to a thread.

Cheers mate, she is a little busy at the minute, I tied her up a little tight last night and she cant get free.

I might see if she is ok after I finish my beer and game of chess.

This coming from the leader of the silent minority. How snide can you get? Very good.
