If you know me, you'll remember that I've been in the hobby a lifetime and I've seen quite a bit including similar thoughts offered on other boards.
Example of something that happened elsewhere for your review.......
I've played in the upscale arena for years, in addition to all kinds of other levels, but....one time I brought up a 'detailed' accounting of a business model used by girls with rates that were in another atmosphere ie. overnight dates at $6000 and minimum hour offers in the range of $2500. All it was? Simply another way of looking at things, yet there were 3 full pages of posts that lambasted me for bringing it up, rippin' me and the general idea of girls having the ability to read the model and all kinds of criticisms.
Well, I replied for a couple of weeks until I became very weary of defending my post in the same way over and over and over again.
I suggest that if a Forum like this is created, the rules of engagement are written very carefully and enforced. Otherwise, off the wall it goes and becomes a veritable cesspool. For example: If there is a discussion started about bbfs like Humpty is wont to do, then it MUST be a discussion area, not a slam-fest at the author.
Remember, there's an ass for every seat!
My $0.02 worth after almost 44 years in the hobby.
Generally, I like the idea plenty, but it must be moderated for real and cannot turn into an Underground.
