    This isn't going to be popular, but I'm going to say it anyway.

    We are all guests of Robin and team on this site. His rules are exactly that, his rules. Why this is a mind-blowing concept to some completely escapes me. I'm 90% snarky wise ass and maybe 10% helpful on here. I occasionally get a warning or whatever and I ease off. If I really feel like digging in and being an asshole about something I ease off and back out. If you are breaking rules and get busted who cares if somebody else gets by with it. You are not following the rules.

    I learned early on that you respect others wishes when you are their guest. This bs of being "afraid" to say what we feel..really?? To compare this to Communist China..gimme a freaking break. The good ole days of rgp had Mr FF shit on and troll every other thread. It was simply irritating. I don't miss it, really.

    If this pisses anybody off, I'm not sorry. I for one think that the whining gets old. I'm going to try to always remember my big-boy briefs and keep playing by the established rules.

    End rant.

    Quoted from MT45:

    My view of Pinside FWIW
    I live on forums. Whenever I get interested in a subject, I go deep. Might be my new Audi or it might be the Mini Cooper before or my love of Analogue music. No matter. A forum is an outstanding place to learn and share. I can't even begin to communicate how much I have learned on Pinside. I really can't put a price on it because without it, almost ALL of the repairs that I can now do (with confidence) would be done by a hired hand - that would be insanely expensive with 11 machines.
    I'm not on Pinside to "stir the pot". If I disagree with an opinion, I simply ignore it. What's the value of a public argument with a complete stranger? It's really hard for me to worry about a mod booting me from a thread when I can't think of a reason to cause it. Even if it happened I'm not sure it would "bother" me. What WOULD be catastrophic is to lose access to Pinside - it means that much to me and my hobby.
    I'm blown away by the quality of Pinside. The forum design, effectiveness, user friendliness, PM mail system, game ratings, ability to favorite, search function, and on and on - as someone ahead of me said, and I personally think the same … "I have NEVER used a forum as well designed as Pinside"
    Robin - a huge thanks from the bottom of my heart for your labor of love. It IS APPRECIATED more than you know and likely will ever hear from folks like me in the "silent majority".

    Well said.
