I would imagine it was more this that was the problem and not so much the other. Everyone has their day as the whipping boy on most forums. I've had shots taken at my stand here and have taken shots at the stand of others. I find posting on forums to be somewhat like disciplining a child. Don't do it when you're emotional or angry.

So, you go to church and hide your real identity? You wear a "hood" when you go shopping?

I really can't see how you can compare AMF to anything typical or normal in the realm of Internet forums. It's a fear based and highly charged atmosphere of self doubt. Anyone with an honest question must be silenced at all costs.

And you like the "make up the rules as you go" method of "self moderating?" Read that thread - your admins were the ones who were angry and emotional.

I just ate lunch.

And your characterization of AFF is still way off base. Do you really feel that your mission here is to combat "gossip" (not so much gossip around here after the UC's left anyway).

To "keep people from getting hurt?" That'd be nice, but these are the internets.

And what "lies" are you combating?

Personally I'd like to see more AMF's post here in public, or a place like CARM. But, I don't see either happening anytime soon. Much safer with in the house with the deadbolts locked.

are you a member there, or are you thinking of JP? Sam, I don't think those guys think very highly of your views.
