Ok I have nothing against BOOM he is my friend and I have nothing against Mark but why was this allowed? If it was indeed sent by BOOM why was something allowed that indeed everyone knew would begin a bashing of many peoples characters which is something that by policy has not been allowed on the forum or so I am told? I dont think the things said against Renda are right but nor are they right to say these things against BOOM.. what gives? He isnt here to defend himself so is this real christlike?

I was out all day today.
Apparently, Boom wanted it posted.

I'll tell you how fair this admin team is. They are so fair they allowed an embittered ex-owner to post his tirade against them. I wonder if he would have allowed them the same sort of latitude?
PP,
If BOOMM's comments via Mark is what you are calling a 'tirade', how do you even bare 25% of all the posts that fly around here. It is become commonplace to subscribe [unknowable] motive and then celebrate the resulting dogpile that ensues.
There is no standard code of conduct here that embraces 'goodwill first'. Deferring to, or preferring, a brother is not the standard here.
BOOMM's words were barely on the vitriolic meter compared with the commentary regularly expressed in magic hair and baptismal reactment threads.
I hope the 'bitterness' police maintain their vigiliant patrol throughout all the threads that fill up AFF bandwidth. It will be a valuable prespective to see when the bitterness motive is discovered by those gifted in making this assessment of motive.
