    Not so, while your here, you're 'entitled to do' what the moderators and I allow. As has been stated before, if you want to do whatever you like, without rules or restriction, then put your hand in your pocket and start up your own forum.

    As for that last bit, you're a bit of a hypocrite, as it was you who was earlier blissfully indulging in "inter-forum bollocks", with that HUMUNGOUS post you put up about Wigwam!

    The AoS rules on this seem to be all over the place, tbh. One day, someone is allowed, indeed encouraged, to 'name and shame' another forum, the next day someone is told they can report bad behaviour, without naming the forum, now we seem to be back in 'name and shame' mode again!

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    I'm unhappy with the idea of Members here complaining about what goes on elsewhere in other fora. There is very little 'we' can do about it, even if we are members of the other forum. I would suggest if someone has been badly treated elsewhere, they simply leave and look for a fourum that better suits them.

    You can satisfy most members for most of the time, but you cannot satisfy all of the members all of the time.

    For that reason I correspond very little on the two other audio fora with which I'm a member. AoS is enough for me, and is the place I feel most comfortable in.

    Lol... It's very simple, Joe, that's why we have an ethos, as opposed to a rigid AUP, because life isn't a rigid entity...

    The default position here is that the *only* forum that can't be discussed, in any way, is HFS [see sticky on this subject elsewhere]. All other forums can be discussed, recommended, praised or indeed constructively criticised within reason (at the discretion of the mods and admin).

    However, personal insults made against any individuals belonging to those forums, is prohibited, hence why I deleted what I wrote earlier about the admin on WW, as I fully admit that it was inappropriate of me, and therefore anyone else to do the same. Constructive criticism, however, does not constitute as a personal insult.

    I trust that helps clear things up

    Some further astute comments, made earlier on this thread:

    Love that last one, and OH SO TRUE! I could (but won't) name one forum where the most, shall we say, 'vociferous' amongst the membership fundamentally qualify for the above. "Eating up their own hearts" indeed.........

    It's the obvious anger and resentment at that and/or those that don't fit with their 'world view', I simply cannot fathom. Why show such *continual* anger and resentment towards people who are simply legitimately different from you?

    For the benefit of their own health, these folk should learn to SMILE more and BE HAPPY!

    It seems to me that we all should as humans, accept that our statements and actions are things we are responsible for, and accountable for, and so we should be open to discussion and criticism, and by this means we can all learn and improve.

    But the old chestnut of it deteriorating into Ad Hominem comments is so historically known, and of no purpose but to inflict pain, that we should all be mature enough to not indulge in it. Light not heat.

    Indeed, and which, quite frankly, is ridiculous. In the real world, occupied by the vast majority of us, as opposed to inhabiting a self-created vacuum of scientific delusion, that is simply justified and normal behaviour.

    The key, however, is contained in your last sentence. Whilst I'm in full agreement with your opening paragraph, there's a BIG difference between constructive discussion/criticism and blatant abusing/vilifying - and in some cases what is tantamount to nothing other than continual (completely unwarranted) persecution!!
