Everyone knows that when they come here so why would they be surprised or upset when things don't go their way???
It's kinda like when you're out cruising and you sail to a country of your choosing. That country is bound by rules....their rules. If you choose to visit that country, you'd better darn well abide by their rules because they don't care about your perception of their rules or what the rules were where you came from.
My Dad said something to me one time that I will never forget.."Son, all you have in life are choices, use those choices wisely because they are what will make up who you are and what your life will be like......one more thing....don't burn your bridges....."
This is a great forum......it's full of interesting threads. If you don't like what is said or done in one thread, make a choice to ignore it and move to another thread. Getting upset and leaving the entire forum makes little sense, if you enjoy the forum in general......it's all about choices. |
I mainly agree with you. However, although I may visit a forum and get something from it, the moderating style may have a great influence in whether I stay around and really get involved (and I've stayed here).
I agree with everything else you said, but to add:
Yes, this
is a dictatorship. Cool thing is, the dictator
does listen to us and take suggestions. This thread is an example of that listening.
But since it is a dictatorship, I don't take the attitude that they gotta fix things for us. I take the attitude that it is an added plus that they do listen and sometimes act on those suggestions.

Full Disclosure: For those of you that see I have registered on that certain other brand new forum, I am not leaving here. I just want to be involved over there as well.
