Wow..I'm amazed however not shocked to some of your responses directly to the admin. Some clearly have no respect to the owner of this site. Have you ever heard of you catch more bees with honey than vinegar? Even if you don't agree with the decision, the approach to his decision made by some of you was very tasteless. This is a FREE language site. I for one am appreciative that it exists in the first place. Is it fair and consistently ran to your likings, maybe or maybe not. Chalk it up to life being not fair, no suprise.
I for one am open to discuss anything here..But it does get exhausting to see some topics over and over again. And yes, Israel and the U.S. is one. The same people who cry wolf are the ones posting these controversial topics. It's like your motive is to instigate an arguement..and don't deny it that is what the real intent here is.
The first time someone says anything negative about Turkey or Islam you start stomping your feet in protest.crying for your rights. But you have no problems insulting Israel or the U.S. Remember you reap what you sow. If you can dish it out you should be able to take it, instead of having a fit.

What a sad indictment of what this site has evolved to. Being a "long term member " of about 21/2 years, I have seen considerable changes to the way this site is managed (not that I could do better or do I wish to belittle Admins attempts) when unpleasant threads were locked or blocked far more readily than today.
I tend to agree with both Alpha and Vinyards in equal amounts, they are both right in some of the comments they make.
It is wrong that people are singled out and admonished when others get off scott free without a warning and been allowed to post and carry on posting insulting comments.
I dont think that threats of leaving the site work as there will always be someone else to follow, therefore a concious look at moderation, who has access to what should be considered before serious harm is done to what should be a brilliant site.
I remember when Catwoman was an administrator so I take it she still admin rights which I find unacceptable.

Maybe someone could post in the "suggestions" thread instead of just complaining?

Maybe it's just me but I don't spend time on things I don't enjoy. I don't mind people critisizing the US or my religion....I rather enjoy it. It makes me think about why I am what I am. My wish is that everyone would stop being so defensive. If you can't take being critisized, perhaps you should lock yourself in a room with no access to the outside world.

It is not about that, it is about people on this site being treated fairly, equally regardless of what they post!

I just don't understand, why would someone participate in something they don't enjoy? If your feelings are always hurt and you are always angry....why would you keep coming back? It's kind of like being in a codependant relationship. Maybe, as Keith said, this is a typical American attitude but I just can't imagine continuing on here if I were so unhappy. Admin is the owner of the site...I don't agree with all the decisions either. But I don't obsess about them either.
