I have found the board to be such a wide variety of people that often agree with me and often disagree with me. It helps me in many ways to evaluate my own opinions on a wide variety of subjects. I also enjoy the fact that I can talk about sex and escorts so openly without judgement. That is truly unique and not something found on many boards. I also have met some amazing people off of this site and Hoo's old site. Friendships that have lasted over a decade in some cases. So, to me, it is truly worth it. As an admin, I have a vested interest in trying to keep the peace when fights break out and to try to take the middle ground. But, I have said so many times to posters over the years that they can't take any board so seriously that they get their feelings hurt. I see it all too often. Too often people in your own life won't tell you what they think for fear of hurting your feelings. On a private message board, people tend to call bullshit quicker than in person. While this board stays civil and a gentleman's forum, it is not for someone who can't hold their own in a conversation. We loose many this way. I can't tell you how many times I have been told, "either this poster goes or I go." It is not once or twice but multiple times each year. In each instance, I tell everyone that we don't ban people just because they are not liked or they have conflicts with others. Part of life is learning to get through those tuff times. I have always found you intelligent and funny and I hope you stay. But, don't stay for me. Stay because the site might benefit you in some way in the present or the future.
