And ever so true

this whole debate reminded me of this link i had sitting in my favourites for a long time ..

http://www.winternet.com/~mikelr/flame1.html

it has stereotypical descriptions of "flame warriors" and their methods of flaming. here's "Admin":

"Admin is the janitor, the cop, the mayor, the judge and sometimes even the forum doctor who tends to Warriors injured in battle - in other words, Nanny on steroids. Because he runs the forum and sets the rules Admin has the power to pull the plug on any Warrior who gets a little too frisky. Sometimes his efforts are appreciated, but like any authority figure he is also resented - especially by Jerk, Evil Clown, L'Enfant Provocateur, Ego, Rebel Without a Clue, Yuk Yuk, Troller, and other Warriors who would like to turn the forum into their personal playground. Most Admins are generally fair and even handed, but the adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely is as true on the internet as it is anywhere else, and it is a rare Admin who can resist bringing the hammer down if seriously pressed by a determined foe. Sycophant and other suckups will also attach themselves to a strong Admin to form a defensive perimeter around him, and more often than not Admin's enemies will be driven off without him ever having to brandish his ax. CAUTION: Admin is the most powerful of all Warriors and drawing him into direct battle invites almost certain defeat. Rebel Leader does pose a limited threat to Admin's power by fomenting a revolt and causing forum members to jump ship. "

Heheh, nice one. The moderators are the Queen ants and some of them are warrior ants, and we are the termites that can take a look in their little anthill. But if we tent to destroy their anthill, queen ant bans us and the warrior ants attack us. Thats how i see it.

It is a shame too see that some of the members i liked a lot have left the forum. Nobody can take their place, as i looked at them as friends. Of course i don't know them for real, but i liked coming to the forum and read their topics and replie on them. Everytime, since i got to the old forum, i saw the same people. And now the most of them are gone.

relax mate . this forum isnt not the first nor will it be the last to which it happens. sooner or later every message board goes through this. someone picks a fight , usually it starts of with someone calling the mod/admin a nazi. ban . big discussion. people theatrically leaving and then they come back in disguise because like stopping to smoke it is hard to get rid of a habbit

Giants also had a great messageboard where i was on from day 1. There were some great guys like Infinity7, Ridle. But suddenly, without warning they stopped with the message board.

So sad so sad....

This forum used to be a good meeting place between people of differing opinions to "discuss" (or flame...whichever...they were equally entertaining).

So much complaining about the mods...first people complained the mods weren't here enough, now they complain they are here too much or too heavy handed.

Well...I'm gonna go search the web for a nicely distracting discussion topic.
