Actually, the primary reason I even registered was because of Richard. While I don't know him personally, I find his comments on here to usually be worthwhile reading and I watched him defending his principles on there, in fact I 'liked' them quite a bit.
When I saw how many members that were banned from here for various reasons, no of which are my concern, I was quite taken back. It was almost like a haven for unruly posters that again, for reasons I'm not privy to, were expunged from here.
Every time I visited (rarely) there was an ongoing exchange of one upmanship going on.
Would have been nice of the members on there could have actually acted like grown men (and women) and posted in an adult manner but obvious to me at least, that wasn't the case.
Too bad if it was pulled but I understand. It was a good alternative to keep the politics off this forum and politics of any kind should be verboten here anyway.
