RE: Why the AMA is not growing...........
Ok guys, we all need to calm down here a bit. For quite some time this forum has moved along nicely with the discussion staying civil. However, recently several have started to resort back to the tactics of launching personal insults, attacks, or put downs to those that they don't agree with. As I have stated in here many times in the past, this type of behavior will not be tolerated and will result in the entire post being removed.
As mentioned by some above, I could edit the post to remove the insults or attacks but I'm not going to. If one wants their post, or message, to stand then it needs to be made without the personal attacks or insults in the post. It's just that simple. However, if members in here feel that they want to push the limits and continue insult or attack others then I will take it to the next level and place those members on Moderated Status until they decide that they can participate in a civil and mature manner. I'm sorry that I have to resort to this, but some in here just seen to feel that they can continue with this type of behavior.
This forum has made great strides recently by keeping the discussions civil and informative. And we have seen the results of that change in many new people coming here to participate in the discussions about the AMA. And I'm not going to let a few rotten apples ruin it for everybody else. So if there are those in here that feel they can't participate in the discussions without attacking or insulting others then I would recommend that they refrain from joining the discussions, because if they continue with this type of behavior they will not like the outcome. The choice is entirely up to them.
