Its strange seeing brothers thank one another for advice and reports.
Friendly, happy tone...jokes and alike.
This forum for once has peace.
At this moment some members are frozen.
Do you prefer this peace.?
If so perhaps let BK know to keep this forum bitch free by saying so here.

I noticed the kindergarten is quiet which is a good thing.
Nothing is black and white right or wrong we can all be wrong and right at the same time but should be grown up enough to admit it and open to new ideas.
The same argument seen from a different angle can look completely different. I have an android phone it does the job and without competition the market would be boring.
But iPhones dont give me a hard on for f*** sake this is a pussy forum. One drinks or smokes while others abstene only thing for sure we are all heading to the grave.
But noone is right and noone is wrong what works for the individual is all that matters and for a secure person not something to be afraid of other ideas or constructive critisism.
Carp Diem gentlemen Carp Diem.

I am not saying anything other than...."" when they return""...it would be nice not to encounter flames and cyber hostilities as par for course here.
.its been so good reading positive posts and seeing friendly banter.
That's how forums succeed....
Not the other stuff where it's endles disagreement that spills over into personal barbs

Yes, I absolutely prefer this peace. I can't believe all the silly squabbling going on in the Tech section (can't we all just learn to ignore trolls?), but lately we are getting back to my favorite topic... thai pussy.
Questions for BK/any/all?
How can I see which members are frozen?
Why the feck are DG posts hidden? I'm not saying I agree with the guy, but he is a positive contribution to this forum.
Instead, why not the hide the obvious troll amongst us? 30 days at a time - starve him of the attention he craves and he might learn to censor himself? He does sometimes make positive contributions when kept out of his personal playground called the Tech section. That needs to be encouraged, not his manipulation of the suckers that respond to him in Tech.

Thank you for rectifying.
And, yes, I like the peace. I look at the last 25 posts (spanning 48+ hours) and don't see any of the kindergarden class. Keep it up.

Personally I think its a shame to ban someone for having a strong opinion on Apple.
So he loves Apple and believes in them, I read some posts, ignored others, contributed here and there, did it make me want to hide and not contribute, or move forum, no, not at all.
Many a member on here took personal digs, and DD did the same back, was one side worse than the other....oh my god, it sounds like 'but he started it'!!
Grown men at the end of the day, freedom to read, comment or ignore.
A freedom so strongly demanded, yet when someone says stuff we don't agree with he is banned and we celebrate.
I don't agree with a lot that DD wrote re Apple, just my opinion though, doesn't make me right or him wrong. But I also enjoyed some of the many interesting articles he posted on Apple.
I say bring him back, banning is for kids, grow up.
The freedom to read, comment or ignore....how difficult is self control ?

I think balance is always good...
Frozen this might refresh the ability to be introspective.
I have done more chill time than anyone...and so reformed.
It's good to serve the greater good.
And simply all that's asked is restraint.....
It's a privilege to have a forum.......
Not a right to abuse others in it.
Freedom of speech is one thing....
But it's not a license to subject others to long term bitching and nastiness.
As I said balance......please

Correct, we should honor one's opinion. Unfortunately a couple of members do enjoy bashing others (most dominantly the DrLove/DD haters). Luckily both of us know how to handle these idiots.
As far as I know DD has never posted outside the Tech section and BK has never objected against his posts.

From Meaty: "The freedom to read, comment or ignore....how difficult is self control ?"
Wise words, but in reality that doesn't always happen on an internet forum. That's where a moderator can greatly influence things. Hopefully I can fairly say this forum has gone downhill a great deal in the 10 years I have been a member, and I believe a cause of that has been the unchecked flame wars that go on between members.
In contrast, I have been more active on another forum, which has a stated and enforced policy of "it's nice to be nice". That forum also has the equivalent of a "Last 25" page, which usually has less than an hour's worth of posts. However, as the board has grown, several members have become Moderators, and the success of that board indicates they have done their job well.
Looking at the current state of BTF, I honestly feel the trigger has been one specific member. He seemed fine enough for years, but somehow lost his way and evolved his message into "Apple is great and I will bash any other tech company that attempts to compete." That is coupled with either attacking or masterfully baiting any member that doesn't agree. Not helpful for any forum and way out of place on this one. (Full disclosure: I am an Apple fan, but am much more interested in Thai pussy). I went through several stages of opinion on this guy, first thinking what a c***, then he's just a wanker for his constant Tech postings on a pussy forum, to finally he's simply a troll that simply should be ignored.
All that brings the conversation back to Meaty's comment - we can just ignore posters we don't agree with. I try to do that, but clearly not everyone, including myself, is always successful. Just look at BobFiveHead's quitting the forum, and how EPC, CalEden, Tezza, Snpark, etc. always get sucked into arguing with the same old troll.
DG is right, a little freeze time might be helpful. We do it with kids these days, right? Rather than spank them, we put them in a corner for a "time out". It works.
BK, if I was too direct about my opinions here, feel free to freeze me as well for a while. However, I hope you see me as commenting on the good of the forum, rather than singling out a particular member. He's easy enough to ignore, but I don't want to ignore BTF as a whole.
Conclusions:
=========
It's time consuming, I'm sure, but this forum needs Moderation, not just Administration.
I mentioned a trigger above. He's absolutely not the whole problem. In his own playpen, he would be perfectly fine, and interesting reading for his supporters. If the rest of the kids in the kindergarden would ignore him, that would also be a solution. No one needs to be banned, but some of the children simply need to be encouraged to grow up. This is a classic case of "it takes two to tango" and you can solve this problem from either side.
