I agree with you, ACJ. About the nasty taste and all the rest.
Only I can't leave like this because I will have to be banned before I walk away from what they're doing without calling "bullsh*t!" as one beloved poster used to say.
Might not change a thing...
But everyone will know where I stand on the way the moderators "run" these boards.
The boards are not here for us, you know. They are really just fancy advertising to sell Michele's books, tapes, etc...which are wonderful and a blessing to many... but the people that care, are the people who post to one another day in and day out through the fire. Not the ones that run the joint. And to the ones that run the joint, the people that care do not matter. And THAT, no matter which way they try to color it, spin it or dress it up, is bullsh*t and it is offensive to me. It's not about people at all. It is about the almighty dollar. And for something I have believed in so wholeheartedly for more than two years of my life to be reduced to that makes me want to either puke or fight. That's the redneck in me, I suppose. No one has to be behind me. Everyone can go back to posting to each other. I don't mind standing alone. Hell, I don't even remember how to quit.
