Perhaps we shouldn't allow any posts about police, getting tickets, the military, global warming, anything off topic? Would the forum members prefer that?

I for one can not understand why you guys (the moderators) do some of the things you do. I am one of the biggest capitalists in the world so I would not dispute your right to lock down whatever thread you want and when to do it. But really...

Should you close it? Absolutely not. It is not hurting anyone. And I am sure someone will just start another similar thread like they always do.

Why are they picking on a person who isn't even here anymore? Isn't that crossing the line of good taste? In light of all the crap you guys let him get away with I don't think it is in bad taste at all. People who feel that it is in bad taste can elect not to read the thread. The reason why everyone is talking about him is because he was a tremendous a$$ who constantly argued with everyone and made a lot of people feel too intimidated to post in disagreement. Now that the wicked witch is gone we can voice our true opinion without fear of unfair retaliation. Except for maybe from the moderators (just kidding of course). But seriously-why you let him go on so long and beat so many people up is beyond me. I know I am not the only person who felt like you guys were protecting him. Good riddance to bad trash. Happy Motoring my a$$.

So has Boggtown actually left or are all the posts symptomatic of some other root problem? I certainly hope not. I enjoyed reading his posts. I think that he was just venting his frustration. In my opinion the probl;em is that some really popular threads get shut down too quickly.

Perhaps we shouldn't allow any posts about police, getting tickets, the military, global warming, anything off topic? I think it is silly not to allow these kinds of posts. After all they do seem to be the most popular until they are shut down....

Have we abused our power? Absolutely but it's your board to do what you want with. Irregardless people will continue to read and post here including myself. We will just miss the entertainment.

Is it always this easy being an owner? Yes. And as your business grows it gets even easier. More people=more problems.

Is it Friday yet? No.
