    I've fought and personally suffered for the freedoms you have, so wind your neck in.

    The tone in your posts suggest otherwise.

    Well that just proves your lack of knowledge and experience in anything then. Thankyou.

    You conform on this board do you not? It seems you have attracted some white knights, see: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=white+knight+syndrome , in the form of Loeffelholz who clearly ''must'' step in to ''save'' his damsel in ''distress'' :)) quite pitiful if I do say so myself.

    Gosh, I'm sorry :( But if you think this is a 'lynch mob', you should have been around for the Craig Wars B-) Fortunately, I'm perfectly equipped to deal with your disapproval.

    ooh. The Craig Wars. that was truly a battle to behold.

    It was, wasn't it? In those days, they were shooting thirty-ought-sixes, instead of the .22 shorts being discharged here :))

    Isn't it curious how so many posters here LOATHE free debate, so much so, they are so offended by the very idea that forums should be moderator free.

    Of course you have to conform on the board. It is privately owned and has rules. Like it or leave it. The same is true about most things in life. If you didn't have rules then society would collapse and anarchy would reign. If you don't like conforming, the middle east sounds like a great place to live.

    You really haven't debated anything though have you, just made statements and not backed them up with anything solid at all. If anyone thought you were making any sense, they would have backed you up. I see you are all alone.

    Read the OP again 8-)

    Fan forums should have ONE admin. One that only logs in to delete spam once a month or so. Anything more is dictatorial as far as I (and true free thinkers) are concerned.

    If you think that, then you have no idea how a forum works and what work it needs. As a forum owner you are open to law suits just from what another person may quote or write. Have damaging spam posted hourly, and have to deal with people posting copyright or banned images constantly. Its a very risky business opening a public forum and it needs constant moderating.

    ... and if you could post with any level of maturity, then maybe someone might listen to you rather than laughing at you.

    Then the admin should only delete spam and posts containing such copyrighted materials. Not too difficult really. Plus, they should NEVER engage in forum discussion, as it allows for personal feelings to interefere with the board, as mentioned clearly in my OP.

    But the admin by their very nature are on the boards because they enjoy the subject, they do it for free. If it was a paid job then I would agree, but it is not, they do it for a love of the forum and subject. I've yet to see any post banned that was not worthy of such. Different moderators react differently as they are different individuals. You cannot get everyone to conform just because you like the word.... but wait... you hate conformity... now there's a paradox.

    I dislike conformists in the sense of popular public opinion. Cliques is a good alternative word if you like.

    In regards to freedom, i.e. the values of free discussion and debate (all in the realm of opinion), it seems you and Pendagron are very against the idea.

    Are you SURE you ''fought'' for freedom? Or are you just saying that to boost your already failing credibility 8-)

    DO NOT insult anyone who served their country. it's not funny in the slightest. nor does it have any place in your "debate"

    I'm all for a good debate. you're just slinging hash around like it was previously stated. as someone in the sciences, I need FACTS for anything to be deemed credible. I see no facts. therefore, it's not a debate.

    Public opinion is not conformist, it is the opinion of the majority. Calling it conformist is daft and makes you look like you don't understand anything. Cliques are a gathering of like minded individuals, they become a clique because the opinions differ from the majority, therefore, again NOT conformist. You really have no grasp of anything do you.

    You are not discussing anything, I'm debating right here right now. You are conforming to a stereotypical pratt with words and no substance to back it up other than the overuse of one word you have no idea of the meaning to.

    My credibility is not in question, I have nothing to prove to you or anyone. I am debating with you, and you are failing to debate back with any decency or credulity at all.

    Who has brown nosed? Not me. Ive not backed anybody up but tackled you directly as an individual with my own arguments. You have to result to insults as you cannot debate or talk without doing so. That is very clear.
