I agree with Mr.Wand: Says who?
You cannot tell the 12,000 odd members of TalkMagic what to say, who not to read and what not to do.
I don't agree with everything Mark says, but he has a wealth of knowledge and has contributed 1000 times more than you have Ben. Nothing to do with post counts, pure solid advice.
I respect that he has made many good posts of advice. I am, however, angry at this post of his. You can't use his good advice to defend how foolish, rude, and insulting these posts have been.
And if you have problems with me warning people to avoid getting into a stupid argument with him, I don't care. If the MODS would do their job and pick up this trash, then I wouldn't have to try to do it for them. This Forum needs much better quality control. I'm simply sick of the fact that an "experienced" member can make disturbing racist comments, and immature insults, and therefore gets away with it all. I'm beginning to get sick of the forum and field as a whole. I'll give the MODS 4 hours to throw this away. I realize I can't command them what to do. But what I ask for is not difficult. It is the mature, professional thing to do, and I'm leaving if they don't. This forum may well be at its worst time.
