I know just what you mean! There are ceratin types of forum users and its funny to see them say the same old things. The ones who think that they need you more than you need them, the ones that harp on about freedom of speech. I dont see why its so hard to understand that all webmasters want is a forum where people get along and treat each other with respect even when points of view differ. Its not that difficult!! It's sad that it should be like this! But any Dale Carnegie fan knows that people need to feel important and this is what often drives them. If they feel like they arent getting their say then it really pains them. And if you cut off their voice they have to go elsewhere. As if webmasters have time to bare grudges against individual forum goers! And besides, we want as many visitors as possible, its not in out interest to ban!
