An alternate point of view - at the risk of a ticking off is.....

(This is a general observation as I do not know the full history behind the comments from DJ or others involved higher up this thread)

For every decent, honest member of these forums over the years who really do give a damn about what we are here for, there have always been a steady stream of obnoxious knob-heads who basically piss off the decent folk.

Look back at the oldest threads and see some of the names of people back then who formed this community and many are long gone. My guess is that many were simply driven away.....

In my 7 1/2 years here, I have spent twice as much time not taking part as taking part because of the idiots. Most of my interactions with members has been via PM's and e-mail just to keep away from some of the crap that flies about here.

In my opinion, it is those just here to stir up trouble who should be banned and not the people who are reacting to crap being thrown their way.

The same things that annoy DJ annoy me too but I just react differently or just bugger off for a year or two.
