Tim(period):
The difference between how you would handle it and how I would handle it is simply this:
I don't assume that I am the arbiter of taste for others: If I was that unhappy about any site, I would leave it, as I did. And, knowing someone doesn't change that. In fact, it strengthens my resolve to not attempt to act as a censor.
For one to assume that what they approve of is what everyone should approve of smacks of narrow-minded vigilanteism as practiced in the past by axe wielding prohibitionist in frumpy dresses,
I have an ego, but it isn't large enough for me to try redsign the internet to my personal perference.
You can attempt to justify it all you want. It still comes down to you attempting to impose your will, your taste and your opinion on others and a private business.
As to your statement that the "end justifies the means": that in itself is very telling. It takes almost a brown-shirt mentality to live by that mantra.
Thank God this country was founded by those who didn't believe that.
And, as many who appear "holier than thou" your involvement in the petty bickering with PWL is not much different from what on at McGirff's. The language may be better, but the attitude, the personal attacks and the non-stop arguing is all McGriff. And, you brought it here.
You can, of course, have the last word. I won't be party to another back and forth post-a-thon.
