If neither side is shutting down, then why are people still bitching? Seriously, there is no reason to be ungracious about this. OWC has provided these forums free of charge for eight years, and I am sure some of the comments here and on the other side make Larry grind his molars. I think we need to remember that we are at a friend's house, and behave accordingly.
I'm in agreement with you on this one. It's up to them to implement whatever rules they desire. It is also the choice of the participants to continue on or go elsewhere.
The greatest irony in all of this hoopla about the political forum going away was Black's insistence that there were a bunch of whiny tattletales running to the moderators for any and every perceived slight - and that there was some sort of right-wing conspiracy to get rid of the political side.
The ironic part of it all is that I get a message from a MRF Moderator informing me that one of my posts was edited because I had used Black's real first name in the post (a name that has been recognized and answered in other threads).
So, it turns out that the person whipping up the conspiracy theory and admonitions about tattletales (and insinuated that I whined to the moderators myself) is the one who runs to the moderators himself...
Ironic.
