Subject: A polite note to Sysop

Dear Ladies and/or Gentlemen, The best friend or customer you have is the one who is willing to tell you when they believe you have a problem. That is because they care enough to mention it. If they didn't care they would simply ignore your disfunction and allow you to carry on. It is in that spirit that I find I must object to the management of this site. Now, I have no financial interest here and you have not asked me for my opinion. You've not paid any fee for my analysis so it clearly isn't worth any more than you have invested. However, since I care enough to post this I'd like you to at least think about it as you are deleting it from the thread board. I find the tolerance for religous and racial bigotry here beyond acceptable. You have allowed persons whom have made horrid statements about those of Jewish and Arab backgrounds to return here to continue their statements and again recently you have tolerated the slander of my Christian religion. "The marine was more likely an ultra-right wing christian, the very types discussed on the USA thread. He probably makes his wife and daughter dress up in mid 19th century garb. Think the marine colonel from "American Beauty". Further, you have tolerated the request to assualt a USMC officer. Even after a member of your boards asked you to censor the remarks as offensive. "Subject: If any red blooded American men here know this guy, please punch him in the head for me. Aussiegunneragain 1/5/2010 11:17:06 PM" Now dear Sysop, you may have noticed lately that most of your site's activity is dominated by the Rafale fighter and most of the persons who actually knew anything about "strategy" have left here long ago. The most recent were gfaust and Phaid, good folks who didn't say bye but told you why they were leaving. It wasn't because of the high standards you hold here..... I myself began to have serious reservations when you allowed Darth America to accuse me of racism when clearly that is not the case. In summation, I'd suggest you think about what I have said and what other very interesting personalities have said to you. Best wishes to all in the new year. May there be less war and more hope, love, and prosperity for all of US. Check Six Rocky

Very well said! I don't think such blatant incitement of violence should be tolerated anywhere without moral challenge. Such speech should be first scolded, reputed than deleted.

Dear Sysops,
In the post that Rocky mention's in no way did I single out the man in question for a punch in the head because of his commission in the US Marine core, his US nationality or for his religion (which is not mentioned and which I don't make any assumptions on). I singled him out because he is an idiot and since he lives in the US, I thought the best course of action was to let those red blooded american males who share my views on the desirability of promoting near nudity amongst females know about him. If he was from the UK, or Israel or Iran or Timbuktu I would have gone to their board (those that have one) and singled him out there for the same treatment. I'm of the view that singling out idiots for a punch in the head is not discriminatory in the way that say, making derogatory comments about somebodies skin colour at the beginning of a completely unrelated story is but hey, that's just me. However, if you consider my behavior offensive please let me know and perhaps add a "don't be mean to idiots" clause on your rules of use, and I will be happy to comply.
 
Regards,
Aussiegunner.

GF left?!?!?!?!  NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
 
SYSOP, gfaust was an invaluable member of this community, as much for his temperament as for his encyclopedic knowledge and experience.  Many others likewise deserve mention and it were invidious to particularize; one could have said this years ago when Mike Golf left, or others before him; but if people like GF are bailing, pretty soon this will be an echo chamber with tumbleweeds blowing through. 
 
You should questionnaire users - including past users whose addresses you still have - asking what to do to shape up this place.  Then do it.  I don't know how you make money, but you'd better spend some on board functionality; more importantly you'd better change policies.  Eventually I'll be the smartest guy left on these boards and that will be a sad day. 
 
Let me say only this to GF and others:  if there is a fool on the board whom you cannot bear, perhaps we can just agree to ignore 'em.  I happen not to mind some of these types; and opinions differ - I like BW and appreciate FS (even through all the blague) but am just about worn out on SlowMan; others consider our little Korean grade school buddy to be more valuable than our French peeps.  I think if there were one feature SP needs to implement most ricky tick it would be an Ignore button.
 
Yes, SP, if you drive off all the brains this place WILL die.  Unless there is a tax angle I don't know about.
 
As for Aga the Australian cooker, bollocks to him; based on history, he's wrong on any given issue.  Rocky, I can't say turn the other cheek, the more so as I have no idea what the fuss is all about; but boy howdy, just consider the source.  I'd give him a boot to the head for you, but first I'd have to be in Oz.  Really, though, he's not worth the powder.
 
 A better 2010 to all.  (Maybe it's time to reread Odyssey II?)

Well Rocky, you never seemed to have a problem with people proclaiming Obama being the fascist-communist Hitlerstalinpolpot, who was going to reduce us all to pennyless slaves. If you don't want vitriol being spewed about here, you might want to try taking aim at some of the rightwing crazy as well.

So some Marine Captain expresses the opinion that a few of your ladies are skanks. You object to that do you? You demand somebody stand up for their honor? but wait, what is this? you insist that somebody else do the punching don't you ( what a little chicken sh*t) because you are well aware the said Marine would snap you like a twig.
 
Sod off troll.
