Thread Name: Max is taking action
Subject: RE: Max is taking action
IMO (Ms now-it-all here again) censorship is far different than putting a halt to stalking. I was going to ask "what happens if I say something stupid in the heat of the moment?" Well, no matter how stupid I get, I'm never going to get so mad at someone I follow them around from thread to thread just to harass them - which is what I think happened here. There's no way in hell this could be considered censorship. Dick, what he was doing was not simply starting arguments or ruffling feathers - he was scaring people.

I honestly think the way the group as a whole reacted to the above person was more of a reason for Shambles' leaving than what that person did, but I could be wrong.

One guy stopped in and did the equivalent of thanking us for wasting his time. I'm sorry, but I wouldn't judge a forum's worth from the postings I read during one visit than I'd judge a conversation from hearing a couple of minutes of conversation.

Sheesh - am I grumpy, or what? I'm heading to the Tavern for a drink and a hug.
