....................To Rickbin I say, you have a great site, but you are letting your commitment to freedom of opinion, go to far, allowing these kinds of unhinged barrages to go unchecked is not serving your site as well as you think.


The site has become a internet catch filter for the less than desirable. More threads consisting of meaningless banter than quality content.

Much like a failing urban neighborhood, many quality members no longer participate yet their screen names hang on the registered user list like boarded up vacant homes. Signs of physical and social disorder spread, graffiti, broken windows, and other markers of decay have multiplied.
