People have been trashing the mod thread left and right, Ted. The message I was responding to was trashing the mod thread. I didn't mean to bring you personal injury. But there is a great deal of needless conflict on this board. People go out of their way to insult others. I get pissed off reading one out of every four messages here. 25% of the time, this board ceases being SI:AMD and proceeds to become SI:ID4.

And you know what? I don't have to hold my opinions of this board? Why? Because it's unmoderated. If we were on the other ("moderated") board, you could casually ask me to stop talking about this Off Topic crap, and I would. Here? I could probably flood this board with six thousand messages a day posting solely about OT.

(of course, on a positive note, this would allow SI:AMD to catch up with SI:Dell in number of posts)

Anyway ... I was posting against a person who very strongly hated SI:ModAMD. I wasn't trying to case SI:AMD in an extra bad light, but I was trying to point out why I think the moderated board should be given a chance. I can't believe how, once the board started, people came in and posted messages for the singular purpose of hurting the Moderator's feelings. And these were (generally) decent, intelligent people doing this, like Scumbria and possibly you, ted (not 100% sure, I may be wrongfully accusing you here, and I apologize for that). This sort of thing I cannot understand.

And in conclusion, I think that everybody agrees with me when I say rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant, rant......
