No, we wouldn't be here unless people like you hadn't made it a point to get super defensive and try to shout above everyone else. Gang mentality is a bitch when it goes both ways, but some people were actually provoked into problems with people not even really related to the situation.
The biggest problem isn't the situation now. It's a group of select people who were so willing to make anyone who even became remotely quizzical about his choice sound as though they were the biggest assholes in the known universe. And then, some of those same people buried another member of this forum with eight pages of GR violations. Sketch wasn't right, but the fact is, he got torpedoed by the same people who tried to act as though they were just gentle lambs in another thread. As if they somehow have to beat back this impending rush from a foreign horde to defend their brother.
If this is supposed to be the loving, all consuming community people join so they don't feel harassed, it would be nice if some of the same principle players would adhere to their own schtick. MTP Jeff said that Drew70 loved the old west style of former forums, but couldn't operate under those lines in the TMF. Well, it would be nice to know that other members would, you know, not operate in this place as if they were bootleggers during Prohibition.
