Rainer,
This is your site and as far as i have seen, you've always ran a fair ship.
In regards to Meat's posts i see it in a very simple way
Yes his name is up top and with that we should all show a little respect for the man we are supposed to be here for, someone said to me once before that they were here because of Jim's music and not for Meat, well i do believe there is a seperate site for that. I simply dont understand why some and i do stress only some, are here as i have never once read a positive thing about Meat EVER from them.
However those that post honest reviews and have the decency to give a constructive reason behind it should feel free to post how they feel. I do not believe for one minute that Meat isn't open to honest respectable opinions. Mindless argumentative stuff should absolutely be deleted and the poster dealt with accordingly.
As far as Meat goes
Well i kind of figure he's big enough to object to R personally if he has a problem with his posts being removed, and i suspect that after going back a little while later possibly agrees with the post no longer being there. If he doesn't i'm sure R and Meat are able to discuss this. One thing has always been apparant, Meat has a healthy respect for R, do you think he would if he thought he was being censored or treated anything other than he should? Meat does get special treatment to an extent and does make posts that alot of us wouldnt get away with, the only deleted posts i have seen have been when Meat has clearly been pushed to the point of saying something he otherwise wouldnt. Deleting these posts is in Meat's interest too, if i was a newbie and had come to this site, looked back through some of the recent posts which take me to heavily edited threads, it would be easy for me to have a poor opinion of the man, given that everyone else's posts would have been edited or even removed i would not be able to see what exactly Meat was answering and may get the opinion he just blows off at the slightest issue.
We know that's not true, but only because we read those threads before they were edited, but besides putting whoever in their place at the time, and showing them they can't just 'piss' all over his hard work, what purpose would it serve for that kind of post to continue to exist?
I can't think of a single positive reason myself.
Long live the man, his opinions, personality and more importantly ability to speak up for himself and defend his own character, but that shouldn't exist without any boundary whatsoever, just a little more relaxed than us normal folk
Made sense in my head anyway
