It is strange indeed when a good man such as Poynt gets "read only" status after having contributed so much of value over the years, while a mouthpiece can stay and yap. Grumpy has also been a valuable contributor and suffered the same fate.

I have known these gentlemen and their skills for over three years on this forum, and can attest to their worthiness to be here.

One can only guess that the forum has degenerated over the years and like a ship whose captain has been away on "other business", some of the "mob have come to hold sway"

I stopped posting a while ago because of this. It is no longer a gentleman's club but has turned into a rowdy bar scene where those who would be intoxicated are loudly heard above others.

Excuse me, but I will have to be taking my patronage elsewhere.

Repeatedly responding with logical fallacies. WOW, I could think of a whole lot of people who fall in this category. And thanks for enlightening me however, you better be careful with the enlightenment since that is why these three gentlemen have been banned. They caused you to THINK, not just run off at the mouth. It is also funny that the people who are happy to see them go are the same people who these three have questioned or challenged.

I would really like to see them back. They brought some reality to this forum.

Stephan, please give them their posting rights back. They are needed here.

yes. like yourself with regard to your posts to ist? ad hominem has no place here. point of fact that is exactly why there is such polarization and emotion, because such behavior is not nipped in the bud. at least stefan recognizes such behavior is detrimental to this place and has started to take appropriate actions. they didn't cause me to think... lol that's asinine. i cause myself to think. for the record, i was not happy to see poynty go. you all seem to think this is something personal, poynty in particular, it is not. i was very disappointed to see him spiral downwards and start vindictive threads with no substance. he is an intelligent person, he just needs to stay off his pejorative pedestal and act his age. as do we all...

like sands through the hourglass so are the days of OUr lives... this soap opera is getting old.

Best to leave a forum when you can't toss a few "ad hominem's" around...
