You know what, I AM like this in real life, and anyone is welcome to come up to the real me and have the same argument, I will have the same damn opinions.
I agree Shiggins!

You know what, I AM like this in real life, and anyone is welcome to come up to the real me and have the same argument, I will have the same damn opinions. I agree Shiggins! Not really something that bugs me but something that I find funny is that, especially on the confo critiques, the first poster will say "Eww don't like it" and then the next few will say "Yeah me either". Then if I (or someone else) comes along and says "well actually I like it" there will be people coming out of the woodwork saying "Yeah I like it too"! It's like the tide turning. Ha Ha. I like when people state their opinion even if it differs from others. And I like that you can 'watch' people that start here agreeing with people and not causing trouble become confident enough to eventually post their own opinions because they realise that here they're allowed to! Pretty cool really.

Yeah, what he/she said!" And god forbid anyone disagree with a moderator post, it's like a one-way ticket to instant pariah status, assuming you don't get banned for it. The only thing worse than the buttkissers are those mods who actively try to surround themselves with them. I used to post on a tomato grower's forum where the owner actually started sending a toadie into the forum's IRC channel to make sure nobody was disagreeing with him when he wasn't there, and then banning people from the forum and deleting any reference to those people in forum posts. He even added their names to the profanity filter! I was banned for creating the IRC channel (with his blessing) and then not banning people from it for speaking their minds. The ban was later lifted when I pointed out that he'd given me his permission for the channel, in public, in writing, and had never told me to close it when he changed his mind about it, he just expected me to magically know. But I never went back anyway, I mean seriously, who wants to hang out in a place like that?

Well, everyone invests a lot of effort in their particular interests. I'm sure the tomato people would question how there could be any controversy surrounding horses.

, so true! I hate when the doorbell rings in the late morning, and I've been hanging around, doing dishes, laundry & playing on the computer in my PJs.
