I don't dislike the place. And I figured you would be mature enough not to take it personally when I mentioned what I perceived as a flaw in the system.

while I am sure you didn't intend to agree with the "and the only moderator doesn't really moderate anything" - the text as posted says that.....so, you can see how that can be responded to as it was.

Short of asking Mr Cliff Pennock, -- and since he already replied, so its a moot piont now. -- I dont see how your going to get satisfaction, short of leaving PFF.

Remember, This is Cliff's house. We are guests in that house, If Cliff says no, its final. Done. Finito.

I guess unless you ask cliff for an "iggy button" were not getting one. I feel no need for such a button, so I am not asking. lol

And I have to add:

"In before trash can." I am sure its coming. lol

So what's the flaw? That there's no ignore button "like most other forums have" (although for some odd reason, none of the forums I visit offer that option), or that according to you I don't do any moderation?

WTF are you talking about? Please show me where I took this personal. "Mature enough"? Yeah, that was a real mature remark.

I'm not interested in arguing. And it was not my intention to start an argument. I simply stated my opinion. And I honestly did not expect it to be so negatively received.

I guess this is what I get for associating myself with such a polarizing figure (JazzMan). Or maybe this is my penance for sitting in front of the computer instead of working on my Fiero today. In any case, I don't feel like digging the hole any deeper.

Really? You agree with an obvious snide remark towards the forum and me and you didn't expect it to be received so negatively? Really?

You want him to babysit you? Do you feel that you can't handle your own problems?

hugh, just ignore whoever it is. You can't stop a poster from posting, and quite frankly I'm happy we can't do that.

You're correct, freedom of speech is paramount... and usually what makes Hugh's "troll" look like a douchebag anyhow. Every time he acts up, he slinks away for a while so everyone forgets his stupidity and does not neg him.

But he reappeared a few weeks back (thought I smelled something!) and is basically getting right back into the thick of it for now. Until he acts like a fool again and slinks off. I don't ignore him when I can insult him, its more fun.
