Here's my opinion on David Wales, and why he's a necessary evil in these forums...
There are a TON of people who do nothing more than go through peoples posts, pick it apart because of a typo or lack of punctuation, or flame the OP because they're not asking for a Yak-3. Anyone who browses the Wish List forum especially will quickly see it's a stomping ground for a few people who feel they 'know better' than everyone else. With a decently penned post, these people are able to infect the post with their negativity and attacks, while keeping it 'on topic' and avoiding the wrath of Skuzzy's rule violations.
What David did is point this out in a very decent manner. He was able to post topics that, while they were ridiculous, left nothing for these posters to do but go onto personal attacks on the OP himself. I don't know if I ever saw as many rule violations in a single post as I saw on a daily basis in David Wales posts.
I think Skuzzy and HiTech should really look at this, and ask themselves if they're PNGing the wrong person? He was able to point out to everyone that the Emperor is indeed nekkid; that a spade is infact a spade, and not a God of Wisdom and Judgement.
To all of you who fell for the troll, you deserved it, you're probably guilty of what's been listed above.
For those of you who will continue with your forum and thought policing despite the lessons that were shown... I hope HiTech adds to the list.
