As my last comment on this thread, I think people take forums way too seriously. Yes, John and Cricket likely over moderated LJ but I do not know all the specifics. There were comments made over there that needed moderating and made by some current members here. LJ is not the only forum where the moderators are strict such as SawMillCreek. As with many things you have a choice to make. If you do not like it leave and go elsewhere.
When I see the following comments, I really start to wonder....
Atrocities
Jack Booted Thug
Spying
Soul is Rotten
Kiss My Ass
All over a f+++ing forum. You would think this is about something important instead of a woodworking forum. Time to make sawdust instead of this.
