Idea/Challenge for B&G?
 

You know what, the freedom is this board is that we can post about one thing and lead off into another. Usually a topic isn\'t just black and white espescially when you have plenty of opinions from plenty of posters. If you start a \"Private\" Debate on this forum you will alienate some of your users/posters. I love the freedom to put my two cents in anytime i want, and not to be excluded. If you eclude me i will follow the path of the Gator and look elsewhere for a more inclusive forum. Not that I hold a lot of weight, but I am a fan of this forum.

Also it is my understanding that this forum is for discussion and not debate.

If your sick and tired of reading the average person\'s \'\'stupid post\'\'...just say it guys..don\'t try to force feed your views on us...and give us no purpose other than voting on who\'s cooler..and who\'s smarter...

This is getting stupid real fast...

I think alot of guys, like Gatorman..who by the way, was a very good contributor to this board...will follow his lead..and you guys will be left with the only voices that matter to you..yourself...

anyone who is going to leave..please message me in pm so I can still find you guys...and go to the same board that ya\'ll go to...because..and you can call it what you will...I consider you guys my pals...and I like talking to ALL of you..

Ok.

This is getting out of hand. I say the idea is as good as dead. Certainly, I think it would be interesting to once a week read a thread on a single topic debated by a small group of people - NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE. However, if that generally changed the character of the board, I wouldn\'t be in favor of it. I like things how they are.

It was just a suggestion, there is no need for people to leave. I\'m sorry if I contributed in anyway to offending anyone.

Gator\'s upsettedness was about editing and moderating around here, not about the idea of a debate. I\'m sorry he\'s going, but that is his choice. On the other hand, I hope no one else would consider leaving just because there was a discussion of having a weekly debate. I value the discussion here, and that goes well beyond what a few guys have to say.

I too consider people here (more or less in some cases ;) ) my friends. I hope you will all stay.

I can\'t speak for everyone..but I have recieved numerous Pm\'s ..and I can tell you that people are getting sick and tired of the favortism shown to a choice few ...and this \'\'idea\'\'was just a slap in the face..especially when Mods were actually in favor of it...

JOESAM, and HALO in particular has been overly aggressive..and have caused alot of people to just want to leave , rather than try to make it better...

I\'m not going to bail yet..and you can edit this post all you want..I\'m just telling you the TRUTH...

And I realize I will be labled as \'\'The Cancer\'\'...and I don\'t care... I hate to see this site go south so quickly..but..where\'s there\'s smoke , there\'s fire..and alot of people read this board several times during the day..we all feel like we\'re part of it..and if you want to cut the fat away...or whatever it is that\'s going on..it won\'t take long...

You guys amaze me. You act like we\'re going to shut the board down and not allow any more posting except to the debate. Frankly, it doesn\'t matter to me if it happens or not. I really couldn\'t care less. If some of you are unhappy about the way the board is run, tell Halo. If need be I\'ll be glad to quit. I can always just read the posts that I like. If you\'re not happy here, it might be as much your fault as anyone elses.


AGAIN! IF YOU DON\'T LIKE A THREAD, DON\'T PARTICIPATE. START YOUR OWN. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. YOU GUYS ARE MAKING THIS MUCH WORSE THAN IT IS!

One more thing, as far as i\'m concerned the debate is off! If Halo wants it then he can say so, but i\'m locking this thread, I\'m sick of the whineing!
