I addressed you Whispers, I called you out. I got a weak response, that didn't address my post but that's neither here nor here.

I also got nearly 20 "likes" to my post. What does that say? That many people agree completely with what I had to say, yet I'm sure you didn't take that into consideration.

It first came up in another forum and was posted on another site attributed to a couple of the ladies that are no longer vocal here....
Surprise Surprise....
What that goes to show in MY opinion is just how small a number pf people actually DO agree with the views posted contrary to the types of people they represent...
Is Mysogony or Hypocrisy your middle name?

And the Mysogony angle? Really? Who's skirt are you wearing?
Come up with some new material and a legitimate argument if you want more response.
Your entire post is why people feel it's not friendly. I don't expect you to see that,

I did not START this discussion... Just brought it to a separate thread so as to not taint the subject in the original thread....
A practice more people should embrace....
but calling people weak minded and incapable of real world relationship is insulting and wrong.

It is probably only insulting to those that it identifies....
I doubt you'll get many responses because no one wants their response to be criticized and told that they're "wrong" for having the feelings or opinions they do.

One definition of criticism is to consider the merits and demerits of and judge accordingly
Think about it, how many times has the issue come up? We are all not crazy, people genuinely feel that you make this place unfriendly and not very welcoming.

At a time when for over a month I've not had a negative word to say to anyone.... When ladies that on the board went back and forth with me set aside THEIR differences with me for a common good....
Wahh Wahhh Wahh,,,,
I get tired of all the crying.... Grow up... Post what you want, defend your opinions, leave your emotions out of it and you can find this a much more enjoyable place to be....
Do you REALLY think I should let someone call me out and simply not respond?
Sorry man.... YOU ALL KNOW what happens when you raise certain subjects.....
Seriously, how many times? Have you ever stopped to reflect or try to see things from another's point of view?

A large number of people from THIS community had come together and a lot of good was being done.... I've been quiet, Sixx has been quiet.... there has been little to no controversy in CoEd....
Then we get the whining attitude about how bad this place is because I post harshly?....
And you act surprised that I respond?
Ya know the terms Self Fulfilling Prophecy or opening a can of worms?
You give off a 'better than thou" attitude and shut people down.

Obviously I follow the rules and keep within the guidelines of the board....
People have stopped posting because having constant back lash is not fun. Hobbies are supposed to be fun.

CHAT is ALL ABOUT nonstop banter and flirting..... Most people that don't post as much as they did before fell into that category in my opinion....
All I can say is that although you are a vocal poster, you are certainly not the majority. The only people you'll be 'influencing' in 2012 are the 'weak minded'.

Even the silent ones, by their silences side with the position that the free flow of information is what it is all about.....
