I totally get the "Quitters". It's not that they're being "pussies", it's that they no longer think this board is a fun place to hang out. I used to lurk, but decided to make a profile because there seemed to be a lot of good, interesting discussion on here. A large amount of the people who offered the best discussion are now gone (not all, by any means, but quite a few), so if I decide over the next few hours/days that this place is no longer a good place for quality musical discussion, then I will likely delete my account as well, and only occasionally stalk for information. I don't need to post here to gather information about Bonnaroo, my account only exists for discussion.

The last thing I'll say on this is that a lot of the posters who were around when I first joined are no longer here and haven't been for years. People come and go, it's life. At the end of the day I'll continue posting here because I love Bonnaroo and have nothing better to do than argue about music with people I don't know. No one person is going to change whether or not I post, and honestly a lot of people seem to be taking things a bit more serious than necessary and are acting entitled at the same time. If you don't want to post here that's fine, but making a spectacle of yourself cheapens your efforts to make a point.

This is an important point. By certain people quitting the board, inforoo is not going to fold into itself. This will not affect change, it will only empower those that the quitters viewed as tyrants. The board will go on, even if it becomes a watered down version of its former self. The quitters will miss the board more than the board will miss the quitters, as the quitters obviously made visits to this board an important part of their daily routine. Perhaps others will step up and fill the roles previously held by quitters, only time will tell. At the end of the day, it will still only be an internet message board loosely based on an annual music festival...a.k.a. not actually important.

This kind of goes both ways. People who find it important to ban people and people who find it somehow important to leave.

of all people to leave the boards in spite, i never imagined this would be the list of people.
What I'm saying is is that you can disagree all day with them leaving. Doesn't matter to me. There isn't a need to call people p*ssies though. It just further sustains a bunch of the animosity which causing the problems the board is having right now.

Phi are you saying no you're not better than that?
I wouldn't have imagined that list of people either. This is a pretty shit way to end a pretty shit day at work. Restricting speech in any form is dangerous. I said it in another thread and I'll say it here; restricting speech is in effect an attempt at restricting thought. I can't think of anything more contrary to the "idea" of why we are all here.

i wish someone had told me to fear the mods when i joined, all this time i thought everything was good in the inforoo hood now users whom everyone respected are banned or leaving over this. i have no idea what bacon did or emoney for that matter but bacon is back "for now" as JB ominously told us so was leaving that necessary? I'm not one to pop off n start spouting bannable stuff but without clarification from the mods responsible for all this confusion i feel like the floor of this board is littered with egg shells at least for the time being. WHERE THE BROOMS AT?
