There was a vibrant discussion going on at the UT when I found it. Shamrock's post above best describes what has become of it... (imo of course). The question is what happened in between. My personal view is that Jeff Dillon... (fondly remembered as the Green Lizard)... took a hard line towards quelling dissent and basically crushed the life out of the place. The Forest Ovaries of this world who were left to direct traffic, and not very bright people in their own right, found it best to emulate their master... (who eventually was laid off in some cutbacks). Trumpet Man, Kim Possible, HymroD, Thread Killer, BFISA, etc. are still around, and it is good to see that some of them are still alive. The guy I fought with over there already died.
There is a word I have adopted from the vocabulary of IAD that goes a long way to describe the UT Forum. Vapid. But it is not that this board doesn't have a few like them too. Quite the contrary. It is their lobbying to increase the intolerance of minority opinion, alternate forms of expression and plain ego which has them reaching to the report button. As I said in my first post in this thread that I am satisfied with my dialogue with robdog. I did go through an awful long process to get my day in court. My feeling is there should be no reason to go down roads already traveled elsewhere.
