KclayD, The **** thing was a quick one line type of joke. I hear Norm MacDonald say that about Houston TX on saturday night live once and rolled off the couch laughing. I don't have anything at all against Houston, its just that it was a funny comparison. As for the suicidal thing, I can easily understand moderating something as serious as that. Same goes for foul language. Its just that a few other things are moderated that really don't ammount to much. Quad Bashing for one. As long as the language is held down, its really harmless, and can sometimes be pretty funny. Agreeing and disagreeing is just about the foundation of any forum anyway. Go to Nascar, NFL, MBL, ATV, or any forum for that matter and you normally have people argueing over different opinions. Without that, you run out of things to talk about. I'm not saying that the forum is merely an arguing place, its just that that is a part of it. I have argued here with folks before and stated opinions, but I also used this forum very intensely as a means of research for buying a quad, and accessories as well. You have to take some things seriously and others a bit more loosely. We do live in a Democracy where people are accustomed to expressing, arguing, and exchanging opinions on different things. It has to be moderated, but to an extent. In an elitist society, we would more or less log in, sign the guest book, and leave. Then hope that our name wasn't erased because some moderator didn't particularly like us. This is just another opinion anyway, so take what you want from it and forget about the rest. I personally haven't had any problems with moderators, so I have no grudge or anything. Its just how I think.

I owned an ant farm once. ;-)

As for the **** regime-never under estimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

 

No ant farm, but I got ants in my yard. Just checked. Nope, no **** ants. But, uh oh, N'Yet! Got RED ones!

Idea, people policing people, is not acceptable,at least for me. I may not like or agree with some posts but I think I should RESPECT that persons opinion.
And let the moderator intervene.
We should never forget to respect the other people. That is, in my opinion, what makes this nation the Great one.
