Just a reply to one of your comments gottaBgold:

I have not always agreed with the way this board was run - I believe some conflict and varrying opinions to be a healthy mix. Sheep we are not, and therefore should not be treated as such

I have mentioned in the past, as a Hub Leader I feel like a ref at many times, and I have never been to a hockey game (played or watched) where everybody thought the refs did not make a mistake. However, also remember, there are so many posts that all you readers do not see, they get pulled immediately, and clearly break many rules, and there is no way we can let them stay. Only the Hub Leaders are privy to posts like these. And, without seeing many of the pulled posts, I can clearly see how many think this board is ran unfairly at times. Trust me, it would be nice to show all the readers, many of these pulled posts, and many of the PM's we all get, and I'm thinking many would change their opinions on how this board is ran. Obviously this is my opinion.
