not to inject too much reality into the situation, but . . .

I have personally been "on-line" since the mid-1980's. like dial up dazes......

I have personally, up close witnessed any number of "sites" wax and wane.

excepting totally "ignorant" web sites / discussion groups / Forums, every and all sites reserve the administrative right to add/edit/modify/delete posts. this is right. the "admin" people are paying the bills, they enjoy the right to "censor" any and everything posted (there) - not a problem, imho.

in recent history
- I have observed "admins" who choose to defend a "stuffed shirt" - even when the "stuffed shirt" is clearly wrong
- chosen to close a perfectly civil / polite exchange of member veiwpoints - but that "violated" the the admin's personal viewpoints
- admins that openly stated their "objection" to 90-99% of the membership opinion - this is a problem - when the "whole site membership" objects to something and the "admin" finds fault with the 90-95%members' objections... could be a problem in there.

the "solution" is obviously and has been clearly demonstrated. people leave "there" and come "here" - aka voting with a mouse.

not a problem. when participants become dis-happy with Admin A, they go elsewhere. what's the issue?

so, welcome all newcomers. hopefully the Admin here is more sensitive to member sentiment.

Hi. I am new here today. I recognize some names from elsewhere and can relate to the Tourist. He took a particular dislike to me for some reason.

Hey! I recognize all of you! Glad to see you wander over to NCT.

We're a pretty laid back bunch, and the mods really care about the site (of course I'm prejudiced) , so you should find it comfortable.

Can I offer you a drink? :drink2:

I'm glad you feel comfortable here, that is our goal to make all new members feel comfortable. :thumb:
Don't worry at all about posting 'to much' nonsense. Feel free to say whatever is on your mind. It's all good and okay here. I love that no matter the title of a thread you never know what interesting info you will find in that thread. Thread drift happens and that is okay. That is part of what makes forums fun and interesting for all.
I think you'll all fit right in here. I look forward to getting to know you all.
Cheers! :beer:

Hi Norm!
Welcome.
Did you happen to challenge his knowledge of knives? :yum:
I think he must have been just as active on whatever forum you all have mentioned, as he was at one time on another one of Doc's forums.
If he's still on the forum you've decided to flee from, then let them have him.
He didn't last long on a political/debate/all things forum.
hehe;)

He was always talking about being up front and honest so I asked him some questions. He didn't answer some of them, gave snarky responses to others, accused me of having a bad attitude, made an insulting remark and said he was putting me on ignore. That was when he made an enemy of me. I ignored him until after he started a political thread, one about Lindsey Lohan getting preferential treatment and then he started one about how BBQ is bad (life threatening) and no one was very responsive. One person said that raw fish was dangerous and he tried to get it back on the smoked meat track because he does eat sushi. At that point i said I applauded members for not getting into flame wars over his posts and at that point he decided I was the ENEMY. He didn't mention my name after that but described someone that could only be me and said some really insulting things about this person. i refrained from any further public comments but he came back after resigning his account and said he we suing that board for defamation. He must have mentioned my name because I got banned pending an investigation. I got cleared and reinstated so that is -I hope- the end of that.
