Call me crabby or whatever, but it's really starting to bother me when people talk about their "right" to post on QSMB. The forum belongs to Fred and he reserves his right as owner of said forum to allow/ban anyone as he sees fit.

im not sure which people you are meaning

I'm referring to anyone* who says they have a right to post on QSMB. While I think it's admirable that many people here want to participate and help out at QSMB, it's ultimately up to Fred to decide who he will allow to do so.

* For clarification: vets at QSMB, ECF members, Martians, yadda, yadda, yadda...

Umm...yeah...not one of your best ideas! ;)

I think someone should make a thread asking, If you are a member here and were afraid to post to please stand up!

Er.. I'd love to see those stats. Unfortunately, don't anyone do it cus i think it would be viewed in poor taste.

I am somewhat gob smacked at the changes I am seeing over on QSMB. Some of the most vocal defenders of their board seem to have settled down an awful lot and are actually joining in and contributing to some of the threads in the PV section.

Personally I believe that the changes that have been made over there with the assistance some of you are going be a much greater help to the people on QSMB than the hindrance that they though it was going to be. I guess it just goes to show that so many things are said in anger & fear, along with the fact that it is sometimes very hard to get the emotional context of a written post, as many can be taken the wrong way.

Great work all and lets hope that by what has happened, many more people who may not have stuck around with some of the ideas over there, may now actually stay, examine "their own" reasons & options and then continue on "their own" journey, with all of the help and support that both ECF & QSMB members can give to them.

I considered resigning up with the user name PuffTheMagicDragon, but since it's "Not One Puff, Ever", I thought it might be bad form. Puff would be so sad. :(

John, maybe it's time you ask for this thread to be closed and let it fade into the night?
Well, it has been a good way for all of us to communicate through all this. It was already moved out of the way of the rest of the forum. I can see your point but i can't see the harm in keeping it open either. I'll put it to a vote because it really isn't my decision to make alone I feel. So many have contributed.

Those in favor of closing this thread say Aye.

Those opposed say Nay.

Er or you guys could just not post in it anymore, if you so choose.
