I noticed that in the link the comment was made to the effect that it was your opinion this site could grow to become THE giant among ir sites but that it could not if bickering does not stop.
Well here's a dose of reality and something to consider Will. In this brave new world you hope to create, you are being idealistic if you think all of these different "interest" groups can cohabitate peacefully. If you allow this forum to become a haven for any expression of deviant ideas (and not even by my definition of deviant) then you are going to create more problems than you solve. Before I was made a mod I was getting upwards of a dozen e-mails a day from people begging to have this site saved from the cesspool it was becoming and were threatening to leave if it wasn't. Now, for all those steps forward we'd taken, we're taking two back. I am getting inundated with mail again from people cringing at the thought of it reverting back to what it was.
The bottom line is this....members are going to be lost rather than gained with this new love everybody and accept it all with a smile routine. You will either have to ban members for breaking rule number one or they will just leave of their own accord when the site sinks into a deeper morass of ugly fetishes. You know what it was like before and from all indications it's headed there and worse. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to better the site but I feel, personally, that you're seeing things through rose-colored glasses.
