That's the best line written on the subject and hits the nail on the head.

Yes, and to be somewhat blunt we're not forcing anyone to stay here, if I go somewhere and don't like it I leave, I wouldn't sit there all night saying how much I disliked it (though I do like the dramatic I'm leaving statements which nine times outta ten aren't kept up). Worth saying again that the mods aren't everywhere all the time, if there's a problem report it.
As a somewhat avid Meat memorabilia collector I've got just about everything I can lay my hands on so part of me itches when my collection is missing something, as it is now. I haven't yet got the DVD/CD/documentary. Now a few years ago I could've had a conversation on this site as to the reason why I haven't bought it and more than likely had reason instilled in me through an open and honest conversation/debate, now though all hell would break loose, why? My personal opinion on that is that this place has become the unofficial official fan club since the forum on .net closed, I miss .net because this place just isn't as open and honest in it's opinions since the internet lost the place where as Lucy said ...
