Did you actually read the posts in that thread? There was NO BASHING. Questions were raised. So what. It seemed like half the posts were spent saying what a great guy Mike is and the majority of the remainder were apology posts. One of the posts was by Mike, himself. He didn't sound that upset to me.

This is an open forum, get it? An open exchange of ideas is encouraged.

John M., when you see what a thread is about, and when that thread is on a subject you consider bullsh*t, why the hell do you read it. I've skipped over many threads. If I choose to read a thread, I'm not about to be so pompous as to criticze others as to what they should or should not write about especially if I, myself, found it interesting enough to read.

Who should we appoint the arbitor on what should and should not be discussed on this BB. John, you obviously feel eBay is not a worthy subject matter. Why not just give us a list and save future arguments

BTW, I hope neither Chuck nor John quit due to this post.
