: "Are you saying that if 80% of the VA board members said, "Let's streamline the board," that Kevin would completely ignore it?"
: ULTIMATELY it's "his" nickel and "his" Board... if He wants to run it this way, who the HELL are you to tell the man otherwise?
Absolutely no one. I acknowledge that, all throughout the petition. I say words like "request" and the title of the URL is VAplea.
:You might "suggest" he open the 'Steve-Dave Fanboy Only Board' where you can discuss the ins and outs of the significance of the sugar eating in "Chasing Amy", but MY PERSONAL [see that in capitals MY PERSONAL?] belief is that an open board makes for a lot better exchange of information about culture and life in general.
See, thats what this board is supposed to be, fanboy heaven with posts answered by Vincent, or laughed at by Brian. Or ignored by Kevin. Instead I have to answer questions like "Who's your favorite porn star?" if I want to have a conversation.
: "This board once had rules, as far as I can tell by my research. A special board for OT posts was shut down, so the rules for this board got put to the wayside by pure circumstance. The board as it is now does not follow the rules that it started with (and which, I believe, are still more-or-less posted in the Summaries).Some people (nine, the last time I checked the petition - which I have not signed b/c I'm a newbie w/ less of a vested interest in this board as some long-timers) agree w/ Adam."
: SOME PEOPLE still think blacks are "inferior" to whites... And being a 'newbie' doesn't exempt you from signing the petition if you think it is right... I just thought it was wrong and spoke my mind. But now that I think about it all, this is really off topic....
Yep sure is, should have been deleted, but they stopped deleting any posts without racist slurs in them.
:
: "If you support the right of members to post pointless polls, then support this poor guy's right to protest that."
: Christ, any idiot with a soapbox can say whatever he wants [well, almost] in this country. I seem to recall someone explaining 'the internet' to Jay and Silent Bob in the last movie... might we need to view that again?
Exactly, I didn't post 1000 times sign my petition, the URL showed up TWICE in all the 3000+ posts on this board.
