This site used to be my favorite, but has slipped recently several spots down my list for exactly the reason stated.  "Nazi-style moderation".  EAB has risen to the top for me.  It is a little bit more gaming oriented than I am but it covers my areas of interest also and many of the "movers and shakers" seem to be there more and more.  It is getting to the point here on Amiga.org where many of their more knowledgable members are more of the "has-beens" type who did some neat things 8 or 10 years ago but now only come here for their social fix.  I do not mean that last sentance in a negative way.  One of my biggest problems with the moderation, is that they act on complaints when there are no complaints,  they make the complaints themselves.  They don't have to do the thinking for Amiga Inc.  If Amiga Inc. sees something they don't like or object to they are perfectly capable of complaining themselves without the moderators doing it for them.  It's kind of like the police coming around and arresting a local Bar Band because they played "Let It Be" and Paul McCartney might not like it.  If it was something of a magnitude that Paul didn't like, HE would let them know.

Excuse me for having an opinion.  I was polite and didn't swear or do any name-calling and still I'm told to go elsewhere because my opinion is different from somebody elses.

I guess it can be looked at differently by different people.  If you think it means throwing people into ovens and burning them, then no that is not what I meant.  If you think it could mean marching into town, doing whatever you felt like with no one to answer to and for whatever reasons you saw fit right or wrong, and then marching back out of town with an attitude of "I can do it so I did", then I think we're getting a little closer.

Red, I thought I explained what my definition of the term was and the context I used it in.  Why would you keep insisting that your definition must be mine?
OutLawAl, I don't remember asking for any sympathy?  After you've been around for awhile and have read enough threads you either will or you won't see what I'm talking about.

Obviously you haven't seen what I'm talking about.  Didn't I already say that was a possibility?  So your response is to say I'm whining and full of something.  Your Mother it seems raised a very polite person.  Did I attack you or Red?  I don't recall that.  I was polite and curtious.  Just like I would be if we were face to face.  It's funny how brave people become online isn't it?
