Good morning ICHING. How’s your mom ?
As I explained last night, there was very good reason for JeanS and Humblegunner to do what they did.
There are so many blog pimps that attack FR, and we don’t have a fence on our border, so someone has to defend it. IChing’s pulled thread had all the attributes of ‘blog pimping’.
IChing’s sign up date made it look like he only signed up to post a link to that blog.
That was not what IChing intended to do, but that is what it looked like. Now we know better, and the problem is being resolved. What more could you want? Should we just let Blog Pimps run rampant on FR ? F.R. would get (deservedly) a bad reputation as just a Redirector for Blog Pimps. We might as well then put ADS on F.R. and let them pay the bills (meaning the advertisers get to call the shots). Is that really what we want ?
Gee, I got banned once, and it wasn’t even my fault. It got straightened out. I have had my threads pulled, for various reasons. I’ve even requested many of my own ‘comments’ pulled. Those of us who have been here a long time have developed a bit of tolerance and understanding, and seen the constant attacks that have to be dealt with.
You have no idea how difficult it is to keep F.R. safe for it’s readership. Besides, I’ve noticed that there are posters who call someone a troll (been called that several times by others, over the years, and called myself a troll, once) and EVERYONE seems to be HAPPY about jumping on the BANDWAGON and RUNNING OFF an innocent poster.
IF you want to blame JeanS and Humblegunner, blame me and everyone else on F.R.
Usually , Humblegunner and JeanS are correct about their complaint. I noticed no complaints when they were right.
But let them make one mistake, and you would think the world is ending.
Besides, IIRC, the ‘thread’ ICHING is talking about contains information from a source that is questionable (not the BLOG, but where the BLOG got the info).
Is this not correct, IChing ?

why don’t people just take the time to find out what’s up before the full on attack?
that was painful to watch. especially as I was going through what was posted to see what it was all about. Then the thread got pulled....
dang troll. ;)
