Bring down the hammer - dictators; not strict enough - diluting the vision; want to change things - sellout; banal posting - mods fault....
I'm hearing a lot of of that.
What I don't hear - acknowledgement (or very little) for the IMMENSE effort to keep this site rolling.

Plus, sarcasm is difficult to translate over the internet. Unless you know them personally, I'd refrain from making comments like that. I scrolled past your comment was thought, "daaaaaang ouch" but I decided to leave it alone. Now that you're defending yourself though I thought I'd weigh in. I'm no moral authority though, so please feel free to disregard my chatter.
EDIT: HWith pointed out my poor editing, I've amended the (grievous) error.Last edited by several_girls; 07-12-2012, 11:29 AM.

I was making an analogy show MikeNouveau that his reasoning was faulty. He defended a rather sharp criticism of casem by saying "we're on a message board about clothing."
Now I've further derailed the recent purchases thread and I feel bad. I will shut up now.

Originally posted by merzdude, its fine to call people out on the substance of their posts but .. can we leave the postcount alone? some fellow with 106 called alfonso and i a bunch of ingrates a few posts above
ps: i, too, am confused about the racism and homophobia thing.. not sure what is happening here anymore.
as I've always said, the world is a tough and diverse place and and we have to learn to live with a lot of things we disagree with. I have just watched over the last couple of weeks a set of people who should know better, bickering and murmuring over every little insignificant slight to the point of me wondering what is going on in our collective Psyche.
Indeed this forum has changed from what it was four or five years ago, but so have we as human beings.............I am sure you are not exactly the same person you were five years ago, neither am I neither is Faust, nor Lowrey, nor Mike no anyone else here. And anyone who say they haven't changed does not understand life in any way whatsoever.
I am not necessarily certain that the forums used to be better, all I know is that it was different.........
If there are people who used to be members of the forums who are no longer posting, that is on them, because they are the ones who have chosen to distance themselves. I am not taking a swipe at anyone but its interesting to me that I see members who used to regularly post, who no longer do, but have something to sell and have no problem listing it in the classifieds................
its not a problem to me personally, as I really dont care but thought I'd bring that up to reinforce my point.
I think there are ways to deal with the issues we have at hand minus all the personal swiped and veiled attacks that I see going on................all this reminds me of a significant point jamaican DJ Ninja Man made about when he was in prison.
He said in prison there wasn't anything much to do and inmates who were friends would reason all day till there was nothing interesting to reason about so they started fighting..........It wasn't that they didn't respect each other but being in the same place everyday at times with not much to talk about they found some kind of release in fighting..................maybe we are experiencing some of that on SZ now.“You know,” he says, with a resilient smile, “it is a hard world for poets.”
