Brother, I've BEEN in the middle of this conversation already - but since you've just arrived, I can see
where you'd have made that mistake (among others)....
Yes, I will
always defend those that warrant it, here or elsewhere - especially when it's quite apparent
someone is cherry picking/sniping from a position of "authority", which you've a history of doing.
I'll go ahead and state the obvious again though, in hopes that it sink in a bit better this time:
KD is a proven long-time positive contributor to FBBO. A quick search will prove as much.
Yes, his persona on here is one of being sometimes obnoxious (including the "Grammar Nazi" schtick) -
but we all know that it's part of the fun (and I'm sure those who truly find it too much to tolerate just
"stop reading" without so much as a mutter).
Forums like FBBO simply cannot exist without positive contributors (like KD) who consistently provide
compelling content, nor can they live without financial support - which KD also participates in.
Now, what
kills public forums on the net?
- Lack of funding - which usually follows lack of participation - which usually follows lack of compelling content.
- Absentee owners, who all but abandon ship in pursuit of the next fortune or whatever
- Overbearing moderators, borne out of a lack of ability to remain impartial, oftentimes running off the
"good ones" with their personal vendettas
But hey, I'm just spreading your words of wisdom here, no biggie.
See, I'll do it again right now....
YOU could simply "stop reading" MY own posts if they rankle you this much, eh?
Pearls of wisdom, man.
Wells me up over here, I swear....
