To be honest with you guys, I am willing to largely let this go. And I do apologize if my calling you out did bother you. That was not my intention. Quite frankly I do not post here enough and I do not care to post here enough to bother trying to fix the problems on the forum here. I will tell you that this time I did not bring this up. I was personally attacked savagely and relentlessly by several of you, only to discover that a number of you have done the exact same thing unfettered and without consequence.
It is abundantly clear that things around here are not going to change. For better or for worse the mods and ownership are complicit. So if that's the case, those of us who are bothered by this don't have a leg to stand on. We need to put up or shut up basically, which is what you all seem to be saying. So if that's how you guys want things here, fine. Just realize that the way several of you are treating people on here is not ok. And I don't think what is happening here is conducive to any type of intellectual discussion.
It might surprise you guys to know that I am extremely successful both personally and professionally. I interact with hundreds of people daily without issue. I have been using the internet since dial-up days and not once have I had any type of issue on any type of forum I have ever used, aside from here. Not one ban anywhere.
The solution here might be to create a "casual" sub-forum whereby you analytics guys/hardcore fans can stay away and let the rest of us chime in with our opinions. However like I said, I have lost all hope in this place ever improving.
I have said my piece. If you guys could do me a favor and stop harassing me I will try not to complain too much. Thanks.
