I don't know what it is about this place lately.
Seems like some people just want to stir things up for no good reason.
Of course there are certain people that we always expect that from, everybody knows who they are and where their loyalties lie, but lately there has been a fresh crop of provocative postings from unexpected sources that just make no sense.
This forum has it's ups and downs, sometimes there are a lot of good threads and sometimes it can seem a bit slow, but I presume we all like it here otherwise why do we log in?
I've posted on many different forums on the net and this place has one of the most relaxed moderating teams I've seen anywhere.
There are very few rules and ninety nine percent of the members stick pretty close to them.
Then there are the others, the ones who insist on pushing at the boundaries. That's not always a bad thing but doing it all the time is rather boring.
They seem to believe that just because they don't like the way some things are done, they have every right to shout, swear and bully other people that are happy to stick to the rules.
Now I'm no angel, anyone who's met me would confirm that I don't always play by the rules either, but the point about any community is that to work it has to follow a path that is acceptable to the majority.
If you really want to liven things up, why not put all that effort into starting an interesting thread, like Stuart F's limited kit thread, instead of just trying to rattle the mods and annoy everybody else?
