I don't blame Skuzzy one bit, it has to be terribly tiring.  But since his removal from what seems to be the General Forums, it's interesting to watch people slowly push the Forum Rules, or blatantly disregard them.

This isn't an attack on anyone or anything, just noting how people are acting.

Well, you can just click the highlighted "Quote from: Skuzzy on..." part and it should take you there.  Otherwise, it's this thread (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,294296.msg3750979.html#msg3750979).

Probably years of playing the sole internet policeman on these forums.

I hope it's a trap that will catch all the trolls that are pushing the limits.

I believe the guys in the office are relying on the "report to moderator" system more now.

It might be a good time for folks to ask themselves if the atmosphere in these forums is conducive to wanting to be in them?

It is certainly easy understand the viewpoint of any one that would want to limit their time here. The hair trigger tempers, the inch-from-flame-on-egos, the constant smell of burning testosterone, knee jerk putdowns, paranoia and the lack of even smidgeon of common courtesy and civility would certainly be wearing, don't you think?

Changing that takes some forethought and effort on the part of every individual in the forums. A rational person might observe what happens here and conclude that it is impossible. That being the case, the best and smartest thing to do is to stay out of it and let the mouth breathers tear each other up.

Of course that would negate any good that might come from interaction but that would be our loss, wouldn't it?
