Steve not only did you bump an old post. You decided to create a hate thread. I am disgusted honestly I thought you had a lot to contribute I have a lot of respect for people being close to the mark, but this is vile. You are better than this. Over and out.

It's not a hate thread Alex.
 
Steve reread what John had long ago posted that had been so upsetting to him and realized he had used a very similar tone in criticizing the FSF yesterday.
 
So this thread is basically him not wanting to be a hypocrite. 

So go ahead. Rake up threads about what I said two and a half years ago, bump them, just write 'timely bump' and create a thread pointing to it. And then pretend it is for the common good.. Sorry no dice (read the bumped thread for context). It's a targeted vindictive attack on a forum member (sorry for not mincing my words) and it is wrong. I am disgusted. That's all I have to say.

You can be disgusted if you like, but the point is you don't really have any understanding of what's actually going on.

There was no need for this. That is all.

There is so much massive misunderstanding rife in this type of communication it's crazy.
 
fwiw, I like everyone.
 
:P

Aw, crap...  Now you've dragged me into all this. 
 
His "need" was that before that particular situation occurred, things were nice enough around here that the Bakers would not have felt the need for additional moderation.  That was his point.  What Drew is trying to point out is that if you were not here during that time, you really wouldn't understand (and that has nothing to do with you personally).
 
My (repeated) point is that focused moderation is not a bad thing - as long as it stays upstairs where people are expected to behave differently and Cakewalk has products to protect.  Leave the Coffee House alone and, if anyone wants to discuss things that are inappropriate in a particular upstairs forum, they'll have a place to go.
 
All of that said, I think things will smooth themselves out just fine soon and that's enough from me!

Alex your getting out of line here. No need for this.

Well that escalated quickly. 

So, is it okay to post in the FSF now? I can't keep up with the rule changes. 
 
Not that anyone has asked (because they haven't and never will), but you don't have to worry that I would ever be a forum host. I'm too fond of this forum to do that. It deserves better. Besides, I think the Bakers would prefer to have someone with a positive IQ in that role. 
 
I know. It's a little bit like having me tell you that (just in case you wanted to ask) I won't let you give me a million dollars. There wasn't really any danger that it could happen and the fact that I would presume that such a possibility might someday exist is a little pathetic. This is usually followed by an uncomfortable silence that I frequently attribute to the fact that my tights have ripped again. 
 
Anyway, I'd like to suggest that all future debates be conducted by mimes. Not only does it cut down on the noise, but Karyn has been wanting to get in a little target practice.
