In the words of Lenny Kravitz, You've got to let love rule!

I spend some time on SA boards , I believe you are correct. Threads seem to stay more on subject. Mokoa also seems to jump in and stop any deviation. Not a criticism of our Mods , they seem to allow more freedom of speech (which is a great thing if not taken advantage of ) but perhaps there are times they SHOULD NOT ! I know their volunteers and can't live on boards , and do the best they can. Originally Posted by rockerrickI have to strongly disagree on limiting speech....

Agree to disagree without verbally assaulting each other... people on here are , cultured, caring, intelligent, Rich, poor. There are Idiots, keyboard warriors, socially inept indiviguals.... Their opinions while contemptuos are not going to be changed, regardless of power point presentations of their "misguided opinion".. Let it be, move on to something more constructive.

The reality is that that a message board community cultivates the type of behavior we have seen as of late. Whether it's the confidence that comes from hiding behind anonymity or just the fact that some people lack the social capacities to handle themselves properly, the all-to-often downward spiral to personal attacks really adds nothing to the board. What many don't realize is that 99% of the time, these "debates" are being lost on both sides. No one "looks good" in the end.

Originally Posted by cyrickAbsolutely true , however people spiraling downward are usually spinning so fast they get dizzy. Then they can't think , and do ultimately end up looking bad .
YES, even I get tired of all the pissing and moaning..I thought that was an up-chargeOriginally Posted by RALPHEY BOY
He has to be one of the least respected Mods and is considered a joke even amongst some other Mods. Originally Posted by WhispersI put more validity in someone speaking their own truth than someone asserting what they believe to true about someone else.
I think it's more of a reflection how small and miserable and shallow and inferior feeling and inadequate and lonely and full of anger and depression and zero self esteem that many members of the hobby suffer from, myself included.Wow , very perseptive conclusion , I believe you hit the nail right on the head.
Of course, all will deny any of that exists in THEIR world. Everyone is so special, unique and different and denial is not a .........This would create another argument. Not me! Not me! Not me! Yea, right. Originally Posted by SpeakIntoTheMic

And as Mods go.... I could not disagree with you more where Moloa is concerned....... He used to have his head on straight but now is an example of how being a "mod" corrupts some.

A lot of his pulling the trigger on threads has been more censorship than moderation..... IMO....
SA lacks any rift within the community as it never developed Austin's issues. Austin was the most corrupt of hobby communities with Mods trading control for pussy and making personal decisions on how they wanted Austin ran. For a number of years Austin was not remotely close to the lne other communities maintained.....
SA prices as well as talent is better as well....
I think it all adds up to a calmer environment... Originally Posted by Whispers
