Mike. If you have a problem with me in particular, please PM me and let's take it off the boards. It is not productive for people to be having to read this back and forth about attitudes, when their lives are full of so much other more important stuff. Charm I ask the same of you.
These boards cannot be everything to everyone, and there will alway be someone who didn't want to hear someone else's opinion. They are open to the public, and that in itself is part of the problem. You don't get to pick your posters. For my own part, all I can do is try to get solid science out there, and as everyone knowns, I am not the warm and fuzzy poster, I leave that to the many others here that really are much better at that than I will ever be. So I am not going to make excuses. If someone finds a board with better information, or they just want hand holding, they should try some of the few others that are out there. There is likely a "fit for everyone" but no single board anywhere is going to be able to control the posting of every person that comes on board, nor will they all have the same/equal levels of compassion, or knowledge. We try our best. But controlling over 6k people with different ideas, keeping the truly difficult ones at bay, seeing that snake oil salesmen are removed daily, seeing that grossly offensive people are collared and removed is a daily job for someone. It's like herding cats. I can't do it all the time, I have the missions of OCF to deal with most of my day and evenings. And to say the least board monitoring can be a thankless task, but one worth of trying to do. I am going to close this thread now.
The last thing that I wish to say is; that I do not think that, with the exception of one or two people that we have banned from the boards over the years, that anyone comes here with the intention of trashing someone else. This is not a blood sport arena. But it is a place of facts about people's experiences. No two are exactly alike and your milage may vary. If someone wants to put on another color band - it is a free world. If someone believes that the multicolored people or the teal people or whomever does it better, they will leave us on their own, and nobody at OCF is "selling you" on the idea that someone has to fly our colors. I really have to get more moderators to do this kind of thing. It takes to much time and to be frank, it sucks. There are people dying out there everyday and I am taking time to play politician/policeman in a sandbox.
