In my post I said that I believed that his account was true but that he should beware of the types of responses that he would receive. It was all very tongue-in-cheek. One kind poster got it and laughed but the thread was deemed "off topic and inflammatory" and was removed. Fair enough. Rules is rules.
But my question is, why is it okay and appropriate for posters to attack another poster or their questions or opinions? Case in point: Today a person started a thread asking where to get a tattoo. It degenerated into how that person would be perceived by one if they sported a tat,etc. On topic? Non inflammatory? The posts stand.
Why is it okay to tell posters who have any questions about what they would like to see in TV or have any negative comments about anything that they don't like or have noticed to "just move out or buy in Orlando"? These comments are in the true spirit of the board's purpose of exchanging ideas? I think NOT!
Just my inquiring mind wanting to know.
