I'm left wondering why do they leave where they were, to come here, only to try to change here into there?
If you hate the way this forum is run so badly, why do you stay?
Stan, many of us have been here a lot longer than Keith and do not appreciate him turning it into his own toilet. We come here to discuss and learn about double guns, not to be smeared with feces flung by the mentally ill.
It matters not how long someone has been here. I've been here quite awhile myself. This is about more than Keith. It's about people who want to be in control of other people, and forums.
Like it or not, thinking rants like Geoff's can do anything about it is delusional.
You don't have to take sides to see that.
You know Stan, you're completely correct, but we've been through this before and nothing's going to change. Hey, I've got a great idea, let's start an off topic thread mucking up the board to complain about someone else's posts who I think are mucking up the board. Yeah, that'll fix everything.
The problem is in three parts.
1) you have long-standing personality disputes that continue to simmer, annoying some people
2) you have the self thought smartest guy in the room who wants to be board policeman
3) you have a forum owner who is a pretty much hands off manager, which leads to power vacuums
Part 1 gives part 2 a windmill to tilt at, a cause to be championed for the benefit of us peasants, hooray we're saved. Part 3 gives part 2 room to operate, you can see how that works.
It would be nice if Dave would start a Q&A thread and we could find out exactly what his vision is for this forum. But I don't think that is in the cards. Or he could appoint a moderator that would manage his vision for this forum, but that doesn't seem to be in the cards either. Which means the guy who knows what's best for everybody will continue on until somebody gives up and walks away.
