AJ,
Personally I really don't care what your opinions on Jim or his methods are. If he has been trolling, so be it. Being in the occupation I am in, I know how easy it is to forge "evidence" and the kind you've provided hardly proves anything. All I see is screenshots of someone coming from the same AT&T cablemodem IP and browser signature.
In fact, the BOTH of you are pointing fingers at each other. Who do I believe? Frankly, nobody. I simply don't care. All I care about is the information and I expect to be given the ability to ascertain and sort it myself, not have someone else sieve it for me and give me what THEY think is best for me.
However, I find it somewhat distasteful that you would remove my post based on your feelings about him rather then allowing other patrons here to read my post on Jim's board for themselves. It would seem that you are indeed supporting Jim's comments by censoring a somewhat detailed post made by myself on his board simply because it's HIS board and HIS site.
I'm well aware that some of the members you've mentioned (Ralesk, for example) are indeed pro-stretching (or at least, recommends it) and I realize this is YOUR forum, but to censor information because of personal problems between you and another moderator (slash-former-member or whatever you choose to label him as) is pretty sad.
If this forum's purpose is to "about trying to help people with their problems" to quote you, then you should have NO PROBLEM allowing any information in it that supports any of the methods purported in it, regardless of the source.
Instead, you are confining any information presented here to that which fits your craw. I don't believe half the things I read, but I don't discount them out of hand regardless of what I believe personally about it or those who present it.
Anyways, that being said...
I'm not trying to start a flame war (nor am I some kind of militant) here or disrespect you in any way, but I find that your comments are quite hollow and self-serving but do not necessarily reflect the views of everyone here nor the forum in of itself.
I am giving you THAT as a benefit of the doubt, regardless of you censoring my post which would otherwise convey the exact opposite. I certainly hope you don't delete this post as well just to cover up the points I'm trying to make here.
Food for thought.
Sincerely,
Chris
