This whole thing is just getting way out of line. Completely and utterly uncalled for and just plain ridiculous. Especially the personal attacks.
There are so many more important things that people have going on during their every day lives. Most come here for release and enjoyment. People come to the boards to meet new people, hopefully make new friends, exchange in witty banter, trade cigars and the knowledge of them, and have fun.
Now every thread you go into lately seems like a war of the words. (I am not saying this should be Mr. Rogers Neighborhood either...) But can we say enough is enough? The same issues have been repeated over and over to the point of wanting to tear the hair out. And it's chasing the old timers and other "good" posters away.
It's easy to say, "Well then don't open or read the thread." But, it's showing up EVERY WHERE... C-Bid and the Admin's have a job to do and rules to enforce. It's not an easy one either. (I know, I am an Admin for another site.) Sometimes it's fun and sometimes it's annoying. But they are doing what they have to do. Deal with it. If someone doesn't like it, no one is forcing anyone else to stay or post. More posters will come and more will leave. That is the nature of forums. They have their ups and downs, just like everything else. Crap happens... And now, it's happening. I don't think it's hard to refrain from certain things as the staff asks. If you have an issue of a personal nature and want to swear your heart out at someone, write them an e-mail or IM them. Why is that so hard?
With so many people, it is IMPOSSIBLE to make everyone here happy. But I am sure the C-BID Admins are doing what they can and have to, to try and make this a more "pleasurable" place for everyone.
