the threats and crap from members and mods is digusting. he post a thread on useing sex to sale stuff and a bunch of posters have to get into a gay bashing thread.

and he is threatened with a ban and ran off? wow.


I like and respect the mods here and really understand the fine line that the L&R mods have to walk in running that forum
it is far harder than it appears from the outside.

As I stated earlier, my comments about Superstition extend only to this one thread, I'm not in the know on
his conduct in the rest of the forums. It very well may be that this was the proverbial straw for him with the mods.

I do think though that sensible, mature discussion about L&R is needed.
Does the staff and the membership want a place where all can come and discuss intimate issues in a mature,
tasteful way or do they want a penthouse letters type forum which exists only for the possibility of some text based
entertainment ?

I think the membership's actions in the subforum has more than displayed their desires has it not?
