"With no explanations offered ..."

I've seen what happens when 'management' tries to explain every decision. The forum then becomes a debate over the rationale FOR the decisions. It has happened right here in years past. If it were a matter of a democratic debate before a vote, it would make sense... but this forum is a privately run place. It IS very free & open on most issues, but when rampant bickering and name calling take over a discussion and the original topic is drowned in seas of irrelevant personal diatribes and accusations, there is often little choice.... like your parents saying, "If you kids don't settle down in the back seat, we are going HOME...not to the beach!"
My father didn't even say anything... he just turned around and drove home.

That probably won't satisfy those who 'think' total freedom of speech is a good idea...but some of us remember how tedious it was when 'they' tried to wait out the nastiness.....
