Brian McQueenPersonally I agree with many of the opinions in this thread. I feel that it is certainly important to help educate others and, personally, I find helping others in this community to be a rewarding experience. However the only thing that has been stated so far that I am not in agreement with is the statement that none of the rules have been broken.
As many of you know, I very RARELY get involved with the censoring and deleting of threads. However, this week I've noticed quite a few that I've had to wipe out unfortunately. I've removed a few in particular that have shown a disregard for our rules about thread hijacking and posting anonymously. Things became so bad that at one point, Leon had to start a thread just to ask certain individuals to please not interfere with/ruin specific threads that have been popular with other members.
I believe that when Leon says that the posts of certain individuals has become detrimental to the board, this is one of the examples he is referring to. It is a disappointment for individuals interested in that particular topic to have it taken in a different direction all of a sudden. It also decreases the educational value of the thread to the person who originally authored it.
My two cents anyway, hope everyone has a great holiday weekend upcoming,
