I don't really know why I bother but, a "locked thread" leads me here. For some reason Brian, you chose not to respond to me, but at the same time, responded to my comments...... but directed it to Boots. I have no clue as to the thinking that went into that. But regardless of that, you said:
" there is a mistaken notion on the internet that it is freedom of speech and that site owners have no right to operate their business as they see fit"
Site owners certainly do have every right, but let's call it the way it is. The "posting forums" today are a mere shadow of what they used to be, both in content quality as well as volume. You have a whole site to editorialize all you want, but I find it downright bizarre that you choose to make rambling, pointless posts in the forums and then close the thread when you feel its enough or when you feel the response is not what it ought to be.
You ask why people critisize a clean site like Bettorsworld and yet fail to defend the site or defend you when you're attacked unfairly.
Well I don't post at the other sites, but I will say this with all sincerity.......You sir, would pose a real challenge to anybody who would attempt to defend you. Why??
Well what you posted sums it up "i don't care what anybody believes. those are the simple facts."
Well excuse us all for not running to your defense!
And finally, it's great that the site is doing well. I congratulate you both for getting the recognition and the awards that you refer to, and I mean that sincerely.
But a posting forum is not about awards or about "traffic". It's about discussion and opinion. It's about dissent and diversity. And ultimately, if I may be so bold, a posting forum is about US, the posters..........not you Brian, and your personal beef.
