Re JPO5's deleted posts. Maybe I'm alone here but this board really is becoming a joke. Certainly not in the valuable info passed around but rather in the few who treat it as if its their own little kingdom. The practice and abilty to delete another posters comments by just about anyone is wrong. Being a V.P. enables me to delete your post if I disagree. I have had posts deleted. I obvioulsy offended someone and that person obviously did not have the guts to call me on it or just simply ignore me. I was under the impression that this was about sharing ideas good and bad. I was under the impression that this was democratic. Yes we are tired of the SH type bashing and foolishness but that is rare here. I myself certainly voiced enough negative opinions of both Option and Chips but never did I feel that I had the right to delete their posts. From what I have read in the past I don't agree with what JPO5 says but I think I have the right to make that decision on my own I don't need big brother to do that for me. I have also not agreed at times with some of the posters who feel the need to post on every comment made, yet I don't ever think about deleting them. George my point is that you and Ian are our hub leaders and certainly garner much respect. I think that it would be more appropriate for you to decide who to delete or who to boot. If a vote is required as in other occasions so be it. Remeber we now have the ignore button (as I'm sure some will now use) so there is no reason to delete posts.
BTW if you feel the a need to delete a post at least have the balls to say why. Don't just hide behind the screen.
