Follow up: Speculation and Opinion are forbidden?

OK.  The last thread was just closed by Skuzzy with this comment:

If you cannot post without being abusive, then you do not belong on this board.

If you cannot register a complaint without being abusive, you do not belong on this board.

There is no reason, not one, for anyone to be abusive in posting anything on this board.


Was the next to last comment by cliff the "abusive" post?  I am just looking for some guidelines and consistency in the administration of these boards.  If calling someone a "milktoast panty-waist" is too abusive on these boards then I need some help on how to post a less than favorable comment on someone's poor flying or on the developers questionable (IMO) decisions without getting banned.  

I am trying to contribute, maybe on the opposite side of the discussion as Skuzzy, but still contribute and be a voice heard on the boards.  

Or is it too "abusive" to be in opposition to HTC on these boards?  Maybe that is the policy now?  Be completely pro-HTC or don't post?

Its quite obvious your agenda. Why not just go ahead a quit and just "say" you were banned. Give your new/old buds something to talk about.

Will do, but on my forums,(part of my job) if you came back with a new thread about an old closed thread I would toss you.

Now you are being the example of that pushy customer, and you have probably pissed off the manager too by now... out the door you go.

So....  Be pro-HTC or shutup (or be banned/locked/trounced).  Nice.... You guys are such "follow the leader" types.

Fine.  I will follow the hoards and post to the "random rules" boards and hope I don't offend the HTC staff and get banned for nothing more than posting my opinion in a clear concise, non-abusive manner.

Check Six!  (Which is really necessary on these boards!!)

C'mon Terror. Take a breath. I'm looking down the list of responses and most if not all aren't what anyone would call Fanboi.

Hell... I've been banned myself. Trust me... you're asking for it.

EDIT: Even if I did agree with you (and I'm not sure I do), the point you're trying to make would be moot.

Last time;  You are making an attempt to put words in my mouth and tossing about a bunch of speculation which can only be construed as pot-stirring.

If you need guidelines on how to communicate without being abusive, then simply do not post anymore.  

There is a huge difference between posting abusively and making criticisms.  If you cannot see or understand the difference, then find another board.  I am not going to spend time teaching people how to effectively communicate issues they have.

Don't start this again Terror.
