I AM the minority in my point of view brett and I'm dealing with it, how's about you? My posts before I was a mod were never deleted. There were several times I asked myself "why do I bother?". My answer was because I do have alot of friends on this board that I met over at TWC and here. I've always been one to try and see both sides of the issue. I don't think that you're even making the attempt. At any rate, if it is so bad here, then why DO YOU BOTHER?
I am not sure what has brought on your sudden hostility; my posts over the past day have been, at least in my opinion, quite civil and non-confrontational. I am simply stating my thoughts on the events unfolding on the OT forum here, and yes, sometimes they are in conflict with the thoughts of the moderators. As Marshall mentioned, my complaints are not going to change the way Storm2k operates, and I understand this but have and will continue to post my views regardless. When I say that I see biased moderation I do not expect it to instantly alter the way things are run here; rather, it is just a contribution to the discussion, even if contradictory to the "official" view. To a large extent I can accept the fact that when the moderators and administrators see something differently than I do the resulting action will probably not be what I would've done, but when Lindaloo goes on a power trip telling essentially obedient members that they "cannot question the rules" and that she will "show them the door" when disagreement is voiced, that's harder to swallow.
Why do I bother? At this point in time mainly because WWBB is down, but I do usually drop by here once every day or two because there are some good threads scattered throughout the Off-Topic forum, and of course the weather-related threads here are just as good as at any other board.
As for attempting to see both sides of the issue, I may not always do a great job in that area, but I do frequently try to, and there are certainly many on the other side of the aisle here with the same fault. I understand that the conservative views on issues usually have some validity and logical backing, but it becomes harder and harder to see as certain posters taint the threads with thoughtless and predictable posts. I do, however, take what you said to heart and will try to improve; I've done my share of anti-conservative rants and attacks without enough thought and sometimes should not be so quick to dismiss.
