Well, it was a compliment, but it was also a point I was trying to make (I knew this was going to happen).

I wanted to comment that when the most decent, respectful posters get attacked by management, but don't slither off with their tail between their legs but stand by their principles, that is an admirable thing.

Too many posters here go along to get along, which IMO, only makes things worse.

The "it's Max's site" has never worked with me. The forum belongs to the people whose contributions are here, not his silly capitalist "ownership of cyberturf" trip.

What brings everyone here isn't Max's forum, but Dick and Susan's Digital Tradition, a distinction most posters here never make. I've felt for a very long time that Max has mismanaged the resource. I find him boorish, a bully, and not terribly mature. But that's me. Others mileage varies, of course.
