It's my right to lock a thread that I feel is doing no good. You went way over the line of good taste with that post. That thread went into a spiral straight to hell. It's not that I don't agree with you, it is the way to convey your thoughts.

A message board I used to frequently post had many people with the 'holier than thou' attitude (not just most mods/admins, but many members, too). Let me tell you folks something, I once was an admin for a message board. Unfortunately, there were a bunch of people who do not obey the rules that thought I was too hard on them. I did exactly what the webmasters (they don't have backbones, by the way) of the site wanted me to do. What did that get me? I lost my admin abilities. I didn't want to post at that message board anymore because people could get away with a lot of crap said on the boards, and I was not comfortable being there. Maybe, that's not the same thing or what's similar to what Rez was saying about those other three sites linked, but I just wanted to point them out.

Anyhoo, when you sign up and join a forum, if you click on 'I Agree' or something similar to that, you chose to accept the rules created by Krang, TheShredder, etc. Because of that, you cannot say or do any single thing you want here. Just my few cents.

I hate it when people join forums just to stir the pot and rile people up. It's happened on these boards before, but, thankfully, the majority of those goons didn't last very long.

It's simple really.

If you don't like the rules: leave.

I wish I could say the same for the forum I once visited, but the goons are hardly ever punished. No one has a backbone over there.
