Hey now! I had a thread like this that was hijacked by a not very nice person….why aren't they picking on YOU!!?? LOL!!

they're probably not here anymore /laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> And it's nicer…There seems to be much less ummm…..plain old MEANESS! That's a good thing!

Good to see that the respect that is talked about so much is evident in the posts quoted above. Even if the person isn't here anymore, it doesn't mean that they don't deserve general consideration.

And that's fine Heidi, I was really only quoting you for context.

It appears to me as though some people are threatened by intelligent thought. Sad.

Maybe not thought so much, because only people know what they think about. Perhaps, it's discussion that makes some uncomfortable. Which is fine, but there was no need for anyone to bring up Dawkins. And anyone who read that and was here for the last fiasco would know who they were talking about. My comments, and the response to them, only confirmed it.

It appears that as usual the wrong people are being warned. If you're in the right crowd, you can say whatever you want. If someone fails to agree with the crowd, they're being disrespectful. That's not fair, it's being a hypocrite. Think about it.

I wish that at least appeared true, however, you were suspiciously absent when the earlier comments were posted.

I'm not trying to derail the thread, frankly, it was derailed with the earlier comments, and since "certain people" are no longer here to defend themselves, it seems only fair that someone did.

Moving on.

Perpetual Persuit,

If you have a complaint about how this forum is run, write Chad or Karen with your complaints.

They do not belong in this thread.

Any further complaints about the forum and how it is run in this thread or any other thread will be deleted.

Your accusations are ridiculous and unfounded.

I have no problem with discussion. It is when it devolves into personal attacks that I start to have issue. Maybe you are right and someone should not be brought up when they are no longer here, at their choosing let me remind you, to defend themselves.

But the person in question never gave most others "general consideration". He is not here for a reason. So, maybe the ones who have issue with the "way we run things" should think long and hard if they fit here at PUG. Just like I told the person in question, if you don't like it you can leave. I'll even give you the common courtesy to show you the door. I don't want anyone to have to leave, but if I feel that someone is a detriment to the forum as a whole, then so be it.

And BTW, I have no issue with what Gryph said, or even what Born Aware said, for the most part. You can take what you want from that.
