[QUOTE="MadDogs, post: 2982979, member: 11175"] I like the way the new management is running this place. While I do not agree with everything, for my two cents it is better than the previous management/ownership. [I][B]Classifieds[/B][/I] … Having opened up the window to allow people who just joined to post instead of waiting, this allows for the potential of more people to post their ads. While there may not be the items one wants to see available in these classifieds or for the price one may want to pay; there are a lot of items for sale. Capitalism is a wonderful thing but the lack of what one wants to see in the Classifieds or for the price they think is “fair” is not on the management or the members … it’s just the market. [I][B]Members[/B][/I] … It’s a forum. Lot of people with a lot of different ideas. Some of these ideas and thoughts might be just idle musings and ramblings about tater-tots or about the ride to work. Don’t like them? That’s fine. Just don’t read them. We are not all going to be marching in lock-step all the time. That’s OK. That said, need to give some credit to the management for their handling of the “extreme” cases, such as … Remember the guy who used this forum as his personal “blog” … name was something like “Norrino”? Copied and pasted his vision of the world using mindless political propaganda that was left of Mao? The administration moved him to “Stupid Stuff” and then out. Same with the guy who called me a “paid troll for the Israeli government” simply because I have a decent albeit caustic vocabulary and was not a fan of Trump in the primaries. Or how about the legendary “Okeydoke”? He was banished to the “Isle of Stupid” and then faded into the world of his “9mm magnum” imagination. [B][I]Moderators[/I] [/B]… What a **** job having to “babysit” the likes of a so-called adult like me. For what it is worth and for another two of my hard earned cents they do an excellent job.
