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.

There are over 1,200,000 page views and 100,000 visits to the site monthly and a number of people work daily to review and maintain the site. Our main objective is to make sure respect is maintained for each user even if there is a difference of opinion. Sometimes it is an easy judgement call and other times it is not, as often the written word is interpreted or misinterpreted from the original poster's intentions.
If there is ever a concern about a post you can click on the triangle in the upper right corner of that post and it will be directed to admin/moderators for review. At the end of the day I wish I could say we always get it right but we can't and we don't but always make our best efforts. We thank everyone for their support and feedback.
