By the same token David, I think your arrogance, disdain and often bullying attitude reflect badly on the forum as a whole.
I am in full agreement with you. I do not like having to constantly play the role of disciplinary parent on this Forum but you and your fellow playmates leave me few options other than to leave the forum forever. I would much rather correct the problem then abandon the Forum. Why is it that you and your peers seem compelled to turn this Forum into your private sand box? If I am a bully then I have not been a very successful one now have I, as the sand box crew continues on its destructive path unhindered, undeterred and as vacant and pathetic as ever.

I find it amusing to be lumped in with the 'sand box crew', having never participated in any of the 'Alexi is so cute' threads. To begin with, this particular board - 'the Discussion Board' has no real purpose, so has been turned by a number of members into a place where we can get to know each other better and (God forbid!) have some fun. I'm sorry that it seems to irk you so much. What you don't seem to realise, however, is that it is not
your place to tell others on the forum what they should and should not post. You say you play the role of a 'disciplinary parent' on the forum, and yet no one asked you to - you appointed yourself to the 'position'. Personally (and I'm sure many would agree with me) I would be perfectly happy to desist with threads like this if asked to do so by the FA or Bob Atchison, because this is
their forum.
There are plenty of threads on this forum that I think are silly. There are plenty of posts that I think are pure spam. But I don't say so, because it's not my place to tell people what they can and cannot post. I think in another thread tsaria mentioned that she likes to 'live and let live' - unfortunately you seem incapable of doing so.
