With all the bickering, accusations, insults, etc., this thread is a hanging by a fine thread to stay open. The same people are repeating themselves over and over and over (see how annoying that is?)
I’ve had multiple complaints about this and a couple of other threads.
From this point forward, across the board in all threads, there will be decorum. No insults, no accusations, no repeating of your personal assessment of what happened. We already know what you think.
Post links, NOT Your opinion.

I , for one, have a comment.
Unlike another poster who took offense to it - I welcome it.
This type of 'debate' or 'opinion' has become commonplace here and to me , isn't productive.
Our dear dissenter , postulates that we are to entitled to give 'opinions' on internet forums.
I agree
It's not the opinions being criticized here... but their delivery.
It seems this poster got the medicine he requested.... c'est la vie.
Those of us longer term members have seen the gradual deterioration that can occur without proper moderation........ or improper moderation (if you will)
Will that breakdown ever be repaired ?
Can it be repaired ?
That's the question.
Many of the long term posters left .
Some have died.
Some may have left the island.
On occasion, I still find a nugget of useful information here.
On occasion, I try to offer such a nugget.
I haven't quit yet.....
And moderation like AE's recent edict give me encouragement.
I am interested in hearing the thoughts of others.... we all should be !!
If we want to continue to have a worthwhile forum.
Sorry about the length of my post....
I would hate to challenge the record holder !!!
hahaha
